As you may have gathered from the title of this question, my menu bar and launcher are missing from my account.
It started when I tried to download unity (the mobile platform development tool) through wine, which failed, and then I (in the midst of my forgetfulness of how ubuntu is unity based) tried to remove it through terminal by typing:
sudo apt-get remove unity
And my menu bar and launcher have been missing ever since.
I've tried to fix it by typing:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unity
to no avail, and I also tried:
sudo apt-get --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
to which I received the error:
E: Command line option --reinstall not understood
Random Notes about this issue:
It is only on my account (the only other being Guest Session, which appears perfectly fine)
I can still open and use the applications on my desktop (of which there are select few)
I can open the rest of my applications by creating a folder, double clicking on it and then hunting for it in my file system, which is a royal pain
Of the applications I open through that loophole, They cannot be moved around or resized by dragging their border
There is some space to the right of my desktop which I can hide the mouse or move Chrome into, and which is at least as wide as my desktop
