It's a really critical bug. It has wasted my 6 hours to fix this bug. I had raised a query there on askubuntu. http://askubuntu.com/questions/552581/unity-dash-as-well-as-terminal-is-not-coming
Reinstalling ubuntu-desktop worked for me. Solution by given by remyseroos (http://askubuntu.com/users/230093/remyseroos) The current work-around is: >From a terminal: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install unity dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ This will reinstall unity and reset the config. If that doesn't works then: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop rm -f /home/user/.config/dconf/user but be aware that this solution will install all of the packages from ubuntu-desktop (including things like gedit, sound utility, archive managers etc.) Thanks -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

Reboot - and there is no Unity session in Unity Greeter. I logged again into Flashback and launch Synaptic. I saw, that Unity package wasn't even installed, so I installed it - Unity session shows up in Greeter, but thaths all, still no Panel, no Launcher, etc. In CCSM Unity plugin was uncheck. I was able to launch window decorations, but launching Unity plugin caused CCSC crash. In another try there was info, that launch of Unity plugin is in conflict with Window Decorations plugin, but somehow launching Unity plugin does nothing, but Compiz crash (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1292393).
