This happened just a few days ago and I've been making do but it has really started to bother me.

When I click F12 on startup and select my Ubuntu it loads fine and I sign in but once I'm signed in for some reason I cannot see any toolbars, for instance the 'tray' with the time and battery left, etc nor can I see the slide bar on the right that has your favorites, nor can I resize any windows?

I can navigate through things using the terminal because I know how to but I can't even close windows, and they all stack up on the top left corner of the screen and since I cannot close or move these windows I am having a hard time.

Maybe I pressed some shortcut to like, lock my windows? or something any help would be great

  • The Utopic Unicorn (14.10) has already reached its end of life, thefore it's considered off-topic here. Please consider upgrading to a current version(latest LTS: 14.04, latest regular release: 15.10). – Eduardo Cola Feb 17 '16 at 23:52
  • it seems like it is but i unfortunately cannot ask for help as i do not have 50 reputation. compiz-core:i386 is what is installed when i run the command in the answer, but i get an error when i run 'DISPLAY=:0 ccsm' all i get is -bash: ccsm: command not found – SenjuXo Feb 17 '16 at 23:53
  • @SenjuXo EOL releases get no support here is what Eduardo is saying. 14.10 is long dead so to get continues support you need to upgrade – Thomas Ward Feb 18 '16 at 03:46
  • I've tried to, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade if i recall? or a command along those lines never changes it from 14.10 – SenjuXo Feb 26 '16 at 18:18

You can also look around here on the site for more questions (and solutions) on how to fix the window decorations or how to reset unity all together.

Good luck!
