close/minimize/maximize controls of windows absent , ctrl+alt+T not working, dash and launcher absent post...
I am running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
My Terminal & Unity are not working.
When login i see my Ctr+Alt+T is not working, login screen bland, no dash, no launcher. However i am able to run GUI applications from tty1 using command line and then see them after Ctr+Alt+F7. but on desktop there is no minimize, close, maximize button on windows, Alt+F4 also doesn't work. Could this be caused by low disk space warning originally given by system after which i decided to increase system partition size?
Things I have Tried:
Reinstalling ubuntu-desktop with
sudo apt-get aptitude install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
Checking updates, Upgrades & -f install
boot unity partitioning gparted

From tty;
Run updates:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
Check for Errors:
sudo apt-get -f install
Then unmount the deleted drive:
umount /media/amit
Then update your grub:
sudo update-grub
Reinstall unity:
sudo apt-get aptitude install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
Next Install Terminal:
sudo apt-get aptitude install --reinstall gnome-terminal && sudo apt-get update
Now Reboot
sudo reboot
Other Options: Reseting unity with unity-reset Install from Link If you can -> Install unity-reset
If not you can install unity-reset in tty:
Add PPA:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freyja-dev/unity-tweak-tool-daily && sudo apt-get update
Install:
sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool
To reset tweak tool
unity-tweak-tool --reset-unity
Then type:
$ unity-reset
Last option install new desktop from tty this option installs Gnome Desktop
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop
Last Option: Reinstall Ubuntu Without Loosing Data

when am trying to umount /media/amit i get an error stating /media/amit is not mounted(according to mtab). i ran sudo blkid to see my partitions, i see sdb5 is not mentioned(which i had deleted), however sdb6 is present(created by me from unallocated space originally). Rest commands went smooth except gnome-terminal was already installed. After reboot i am still confronted with same errors.

If the drivw is unmouted you should be able to format it later with gparted I would worry abut unity first. Updated terminal & unity codes + extra troubleshooting

i fixed the first error i.e /media/amit not found during boot process by editing the /etc/fstab file. i had configured it to mount sdb5 on auto during boot process. hence first error solved but rest desktop problem persists. If this input helps, before i decided to increase my ubuntu partition size, ubuntu was complaining me for acutely low disk space of few kb in system partition. Could this have caused this present problem ?

O definitely but updates should fix the issue - or -f install ; always can try 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' Just to check newest everything.
