How to restore Unity when it disappears in Ubuntu 11.10

Recommended Ubuntu book

Well, after playing around the compizConfig Setting Manager I somehow screwed up the whole system. Unity along with any kind of menu was gone. Terminal Windows did not come up when pressing ALT+F# and even ctrl+alt+delete were not working. The only way terminal was able to come up was by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T . I did

unity --reset

but it did not work. What worked for me was typing:

ccsm

and enabling it again, disabling everything else that was conflicting. Hope this helps in case you are looking for the solution. 🙂
