Can't Access Terminal, Menus or Sidebar

I posted a while ago with this problem: https://askubuntu.com/questions/597113/14-10-upgrade-no-access-to-menus-or-sidebar, which I cannot find a workaround, especially as I can't access the Terminal via Ctrl+Alt+ T, and none of the login/passwords that I can think of will get me into the tty terminals. I can't boot into safe mode either.
Does anyone know another way to open a terminal? Is there a file on the computer I can access directly?
command-line upgrade tty

Shouldn't. It happens regardless of the graphics card. I have amd and it happened to me before. Solved by installing gdm greeter then reinstalling lightdm

I tried all of those solutions, but none of them changed anything. Some, I think, were outdated. I also got an error message whenever I tried to use a line that included "-f". Any further thoughts?

Try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1. That should allow you to enter tty1. If that doesn't work, try Ctrl+Alt+F2, Ctrl+Alt+F3, etc. etc.
It will say something like:
Ubuntu 14.10 ComputerName tty1
ComputerName Login:
Type your username here and hit enter, and then your password.
You should be able to access tty and go from there.

Try this fix:
From a terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unity
dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
This will reinstall unity and reset the config.
If that doesn't work then:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
rm --recursive /home/user/.config/dconf/user
but be aware that this solution will install all of the packages from ubuntu-desktop (including things like gedit, sound utility, archive managers etc.)

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
rm --recursive /home/user/.config/dconf/user
