Due to Low charging my Laptop switched -off while executing 'sudo apt-get upgrade' command.

After it I tried logging in after charging the Laptop, OS seems to Login after asking for password but Unity GUI does not load It does not show sidebar, titlebar or any GUI elements on Screen

While right clicking the mouse I can access terminal I tried followig commands

sudo apt-get install unity-desktop
sudo apt-get install -reinstall unity-desktop
sudo reboot -h now

While these did not work I installed gnome-desktop and It also failed I removed and purged it's dependencies.

I also tried 

sudo dpkg configure -a 
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a

please suggest how to resolve the error.

Following Instructions in Unity doesn't load, no Launcher, no Dash appears, did not work. GUI is not working

    I would suggest checking your commands, and telling us which didn't work. the --reinstall option requires two hyphens, I'm not familiar with the -h option for reboot but it makes me think of --halt (which would turn the machine off). I wouldn't have done those things, but fsck (file system checked your disk/file-system), then sudo apt upgrade to try & continue upgrade that was stopped (not what you did; then sudo apt dist-upgrade to ensure system was full-updated). fyi: GNOME desktop for 16.04 is EOL as only Unity has 5 years of support – guiverc Jul 08 '19 at 09:14
