This problem may have been reported earlier but I was unable to find a solution to this. after trying to install Nvidia drivers my Ubuntu session changed to ubuntu-2d and I am unable to restore it to Ubuntu 3d. Which drivers I may need to install/remove to solve this problem?

For further reference, heres a pic of how my workspace switcher looks like when changing workspaces.

I would like it to be as it was when Ubuntu was first installed.

  • You may purge/remove the driver you installed. – Naveen Oct 22 '12 at 13:33
  • @Naveen which is the default driver installed? I'd like to change back to it while keeping Nvidia X server, if possible and of less hassel. – VedVals Oct 22 '12 at 13:38
