The top panel and Unity launcher have disappeared in Ubuntu 14.04. Also cannot access the terminal via Ctrl+Alt+T.

I have tried every solution for this issue that I can find, from re-installing unity and compiz to resetting Unity and everything. I've gone into the compiz manager and reactivated Unity.

Nothing has worked.

When trying to reset Unity, or do anything with it really, I get this message

Enter the following commands:- Ctrl+Alt+F1
login there with username and password

WARNING! THE FOLLOWING COMMAND WILL TERMINATE YOUR ACTIVE SESSION!

try:

sudo service lightdm restart

If restarting lightdm doesn't fix the problem, install aptitude and then install unity:

sudo apt-get install aptitude
sudo apt-get update && sudo aptitude -f install && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
sudo aptitude install unity

Read the outputs carefully. If you do have broken dependencies, aptitude will give you the "solution" of NOT installing unity. Say no to this solution. Then it will give you another solution which will install broken dependencies. Say yes to this one. Once installation is complete,
sudo service lightdm restart again. If you still have some issues, also reinstall ubuntu-desktop:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

followed by another sudo service lightdm restart.

Hold down Alt-F2, which will bring up a dialog to enter terminal commands. There, type the command cinnamon-launcher and hit enter. That should restore the panel.

I have similar issue with gnome panels. Instead of restarting lightdm which kills the session and closes the apps. I solve the issue by:

1. Minimizing all the apps;


2. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del (you might need
   to do it a couple of times);


3. After 2. a popup asking to logout
   appears - close it or it would log you out.

The panels are back again. This trick always helps me when gnome panels disappear.

  Very much depends how your Ctrl-Alt-Del is setup... if it does a restart instead of opening a dialog, you know...

I have similar issue with gnome panels. Instead of restarting lightdm which kills the session and closes the apps. I solve the issue by:

1. Minimizing all the apps;


2. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del (you might need
   to do it a couple of times);


3. After 2. a popup asking to logout
   appears - close it or it would log you out.

The panels are back again. This trick always helps me when gnome panels disappear.

  Very much depends how your Ctrl-Alt-Del is setup... if it does a restart instead of opening a dialog, you know...
