I tested out Unity 5, and of course, it broke things, so I tried downgrading by
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge sudo ppa-purge ppa:unity-team/staging It removed Unity completely.
apt-get install unity seemed to work, but the login screen now offers only Gnome.
How do I get back to Unity 4?

1sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity Try
sudo apt-get update It looks like you were still running 5.0 and then you just purged it and reinstalled it.
Either way, it did work for me. You might need to Ctrl + Alt + F1 at the login screen and try it through tty1.
