sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop might not be the best thing to do. It won't improve the situation. — Richard, Aug 11 '13 at 00:52

AMD graphices drives? You must remove Ubuntu system drives first:

sudo apt-get remove fglrx* 
sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-video-intel

Then go to the AMD website, and download your drivers.
