No Unity Interface after logon

Question

I logged onto my computer this morning after having left it off over the weekend and the Unity interface didn't load. I get my desktop and the files I have on it, but no launcher, no menu bar. I tried following Unity doesn't load, no Launcher, no Dash appears but the compiz config manager isn't avaliable through apt-get anymore.

I am running Ubuntu 14.10 and it is a fairly recent install of it.

Any help with this would be much appreciated .

I don't have that unfortunately and apt-get can't find it. Do I need to add a repo? — Gamegoofs2, Mar 16 '15 at 19:05

Execute this command in terminal, if you are unable to use terminal , goto tty1 by pressing ctrl+alt+F1 and login with your username and password , then execute following commands.

sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop --purge && rm -rf .config .gnome .gnome2 .compiz .cache && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
