I have been using wine for a while now but it started showing some problems a few days ago so I used this command to remove it

sudo apt-get purge wine\*

Now my system has none of the in built programs such as the terminal or the software center. What can I do to get them back apart from re installing Ubuntu?

  • You should be a able to get a terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+T does this work. I know its not a fix but the answer will let us know it the terminal has actually gone or if it's just a problem with the menus/dash. – Warren Hill Mar 12 '13 at 10:00

Swich to a TTY (ctrl+alt+f1) login with your username and password, and type:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

That should pull in all the default packages that had been removed.

Type exit when done, then press ctrl+alt+f7 to return to the desktop.
