When I start my laptop I get the GNU/GRUB boot loader which asks me to select an OS. When I select Ubuntu I get the screen that asks me for my password, so I type it in but I just get a loading screen. But if I press Ctrl+alt+F2 I get the command line interface which works fine. Can't get the GUI to work though. What can I do?

When I start my Ubuntu partition it asks me for my password and when I type it I just get a loading screen and nothing else happens. – Avdhut Joshi Oct 24 '16 at 06:16

Which version of Ubuntu and GUI environment are you using, I am assuming 16.04 and Unity. Is it correct? – Nisheet Oct 24 '16 at 07:38

Try to do this: I am assuming your Unity has been misconfigured or gone wrong. Try the below steps:
Login into Ubuntu.
Open a terminal by hitting Ctrl + Alt + or in your case Ctrl + Alt + F2
Run this command:
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1 unity --reset
Restart, this should work.
