As you can log in on a virtual terminal (reachable with Ctrl+Alt+F1) you can
re-install the Ubuntu desktop including all its necessary dependencies:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktopYou should now the be able to restart the display manager
sudo initctl restart lightdmand switch back to the graphical session with Ctrl+Alt+F7. Alternatively you can reboot Ubuntu.
