[Phight <1334819@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The reply didn't help me at all, "DISPLAY=:0 compiz &" is nothing just freezing for ages??
trust me I've tried it in every single way and I mean it, maybe it'll works and fix other problems but not this!!
lets say I did [sudo reboot] <<< more than 100 times; if that's fare enough for you to believe me

with deep search after 4-6 hours personal help noone else I fixed it!
tbh I have no idea which commands  that return my desktop back & I can not guaranteed any commands below that if you face same problem I did as files/folders record say, I hope someone can help you; and that's not me ofc....

I listen to people who say; Oooh, it's very easy to fix it just type: compiz --replace ... other one say no this not work just try this one type: unity --reset ????? Now I have something for these poeple how about trying this: sudo apt-get GTFO
Me think this is the main reason why I changed this to "Private" as  Seth Arnold don't like it and he give me that BIG respectable lessons .
I mean srsly? with only ONE tick on the unity panel make me suffer; I didn't miss up with anything just a tiny lettle TICK make my desktop disappeared completely  ; anyway now this is the road that I took for my issus good luck to take it all the way till solve the problem... 


COMMANDS start from here:

sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a

sudo apt-get purge fglrx-legacy

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

sudo ppa-purge ppa:makson96/fglrx

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri
xserver-xorg-core

sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup

sudo rm -rf /etc/ati

Reboot. Unity should now work. If you want, you can try adding the ppa
back and installing fglrx-legacy again

rm -rf .compiz* .gconf* .config/dconf/ .config/compiz*

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-mono ubuntu-minimal

sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity-common unity-2d-common

gconftool --shutdown

sudo killall -r -I gconf

sudo killall -r -I dconf

rm -rf .compiz* .gconf* .config/dconf/ .config/compiz*
sudo apt-get install --reinstall gsettings-desktop-schemas
sudo apt-get purge nvidia-*

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx
xserver-xorg-video-nouveau

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

sudo apt-get install --reisntall gnome-shell gnome-session-fallback

rm .Xauthority


P.S.: Before I forget there is  one  important thingl DO NOT forget: "sudo apt-get update" also don't take anything from me coz am completely noob but I can handle my own things on my way; not alwys ofc but if there are no one free to get a friendly hand other than looking from above his/her nose and see ok try this???
