In about 50% of times, I also have no password field to login. I can get the password entry field back with : Ctr-Alt-F2 and then: unity --reset-icons When I hit Ctr-Alt-F7 to leave terminal, the password field is there. So, I can then enter password and loging but then obviously my unity icons are back to default.
