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 🙂
Best Answer
Uninstall your graphic card driver and reboot your computer.
How do I remove the FGLRX drivers after I've installed them by hand?
