While going through my compiz settings, I noticed, that windows decarator is off, and I clicked to turn it on - then clicked yes, before I've read that this will turn off unity.
I tried reenabling it using steps like here:
and some others, but this doesn't help.
Unity supported command confirms, that it is supported on my machine. My system is Ubuntu 14.04. Currently I can see that Unity is enabled in ccsm settings (and decorator disabled), but I have no launcher, no upper bar, no side bar, no windows title bar, nothing. Just the desktop.
Of course I tried restaring my computer, pluging it off and on again, etc ;)
I also tried to have fun with compiz and the same happened. Here is what I did:
If you see your desktop like I did, then you can make a link that opens a Gnome Terminal.
From within the Console mode(Ctrl+Alt+F1), do the following:
cd ~/Desktop/
ln -s /usr/bin/gnome-terminal gnome-terminal
In the Console mode you still won't be able to enable Unity, unless there is a way to point to the Xserver. [Edit] oh "export DISPLAY=:0" does just that, but you noted that the answers in the linked question didn't help, so starting to doubt if this answer will.
IIRC, from the desktop launched Gnome Terminal do:
unity-reset
