My unity desktop is gone after running these commands



sudo apt-get purge fglrx*
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:andrikos
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fglrx xserver-xorg-video-intel


Not sure how to get it back. I'm running chrome through the terminal



/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome


Looking at ccsm, the unity plugin seems enabled. I really don't know what to do :(



currently, my desktop looks like this

@nerof61 - I have tried his suggestion by running the command



sudo unity --replace
sudo unity -- reset


and the results are still the same.



Here are some of the messages that shows in my terminal after running these two commands.

@nerof61 - unfortunately, I have a slow connection today and can't afford to download GNONE or others.. Is there any other way for this?



@Htet Kyaw Lwin - as per your suggestion, I've tried to remove the driver I've installed using this commands



sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh 
sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx fglrx_* fglrx-amdcccle* fglrx-dev*


Actually, only the second run. Then I rebooted my system and it's still the same. Still the top navigation and side navigation is missing.



I appreciate all the help.






[SOLVED]



@Htet Kyaw Lwin - I've tried to go back to your suggestion, but this time, I specified only 1 item to be purged



sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx


Then tried to reboot and now it's back! Thank you for all the help :)
