12.04 - My desktop disappeared, how do I get it back?

I have Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. This morning when I logged into my Ubuntu, after login screen the complete desktop was empty, the only operation I could perform is right-click and open terminal.


What I've tried:



  1. Ctrl+Alt+F1 unity --reset : didn't work

  2. From terminal unity --reset : didn't work

  3. And from login screen selecting Ubuntu 2D and that also didn't solve the problem.


My laptop is Toshiba SA-60 onboard ATI graphic card with 1 GB RAM.


Please tell me how to solve this problem. I don't want to reinstall Ubuntu as whenever I install a I/O error pops up, forget about that. I don't want to reinstall Ubuntu. Please help.
