I was using Ubuntu 12.04 perfectly on my desktop until last kernel update (3.2.0-51). After the update process and reboot of the system, the Unity interface didn't start. The only way to login in the system is by tty. I have tried the last kernel versions available in the computer, but I can't use the graphical interface.
Until the text terminals is impossible to access the unity interface.
If I don't find a solution I will re-install the whole system.
sudo apt-get install -f ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

won't upgrade the Ubuntu version. To upgrade your version you should enter this command:do-release-upgrade
.dist-upgrade
will upgrade your kernel. Howeve, glad you solved your problem. – mini Aug 03 '13 at 05:30
