no launcher, no dash, no unity, how to get back to my desktop?
- by Numan Syed
FYI, I have tried these, but none worked as of yet! Please help! I must not want to reinstall Ubuntu precise:
AskUbuntu:Unity Launcher missing
AskUbuntu: Unity doesn't load
Youtube:Restore missing launcher
AskUbuntu:Unity 3D no longer works!
Is there any other way to find a solution, any help is highly appreciated!
Please do ask for any further info u may need to point me to a better direction.
Edit: I have still the opportunity to use ctrl+Alt+T for the terminal. And from there I used firefox & to get the browser on.
Edit 2: Tried to find more; found more explained situation

Edit 3:@Adithya: tried that no luck! Here is what my terminal gave me so far...
