I'm running Ubuntu 14.04, and recently configured my desktop environment with the compizconfig-settings-manager. After some tries I reseted everything and suddenly all window top bars are away, I can't move or resize windows and the task bar is gone too.
I can run commands via tty, and tried some solutions. I deleted the compiz file in the ~/.config/
path and also tried to restart compiz or unity.
I also deleted and installed compiz without any change.
Nothing worked so far, I really need some help

Reset Compiz and Unity:

Reset Unity:
setsid unity
If that also fails, then maybe deleting the settings files might help:
Lastly, you could try the following:
