Ok. Here's the situation. The only thing that will load is the wallpaper and the icons I had on my desktop. The launcher on the left dos not load, and the taskbar on the top does not load. The final things I did on my Laptop before unity died that I remember are as such: uninstalled libreoffice 4.2 so I could install 4.2.2, installed adobe flash player, installed (i think its called) gimp photo editor, installed gnash. Icons started dissapearing off my left side launcher that i had locked to it, the terminal would not led me cd to the libre 4.2.2 folder. the spotify icon became a question mark. my home folder crashed randomly. my backup failed. so i restarted my pc. when it came to the log on screen it did not show me the option to change desktop enviroments (gnome fallback, unity, etc) and when i logged on all thats there is my background and the desktop icons i had on it. steam is just a white square. I need to install libre. and i need my computer to work for school tomorrow. Please help me to get my pc to work PS i installed that tool to change graphic settings to see if i could enable the unity plugin but i could not find it. I think its called something like ccsm or something like that. it did not work. Help please
