Basically, every time I boot Ubuntu, no desktop loads, I just see the wallpaper. I don't know if its something to do with my graphics card (Nvidia GTX 970)? Someone help.

Has it been this way since you first installed Ubuntu, or was it working correctly at some point? – Nick Weinberg Jun 19 '16 at 14:32

Drop into a shell by pressing CTRL + ALT + F1
Then try reinstalling the ubuntu desktop metapackage and then unity:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity

I can't connect my wireless card to the internet because I can't get to the wireless connection menu from the taskbar at the top of the screen. The taskbar is missing. – Harry Barron Jun 19 '16 at 15:49
