12.04 - no launcher, no dash, no unity, how to get back to my desktop?

FYI, I have tried these, but none worked as of yet! Please help! I must not want to reinstall Ubuntu precise:





Is there any other way to find a solution, any help is highly appreciated!
Please do ask for any further info u may need to point me to a better direction.





  1. Edit: I have still the opportunity to use ctrl+Alt+T for the terminal. And from there I used firefox & to get the browser on.

  2. Edit 2: Tried to find more; found more explained situation
