super newbie to ubuntu here. I was trying to download a chemistry program on Ubuntu 14.04 but in the software installation there were some errors and I opted for updates. Then slowly all the icons disappeared and i freaked out and logged out. On logging back in, i just found the Icons on desktop and nothing else. I pulled the power plug and then logged into TTY1 i tried following some advice here but it kept asking me to update to the newer version of ubuntu, which I did and its taking a long time now. Am I going to loose the data from my computer now? Or is it normal? Thanks for your patience with the question. Links of advice followed: Can't Access Terminal, Menus or Sidebar
