Public bug reported: It fucked up my dsektop. It went total blank. I manage to fix my desktop by removing everything in the etc/Python2.7/ file, since it hindered me from using apt-get -f install and installing my packages for different programs. And also from reinstalling ubuntu- desktop. Once i removed it i could reinstall the ubuntu-desktop and the OS works again.
