There are some possible things you've done wrong, please specify the output of the terminal when you removed Wine from your computer.

However, this might also work:

1. Open the terminal by clicking Ctrl+Alt+T .
2. Enter dconf reset.
3. Enter dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ to reset your desktop. (This will also reset your desktop configuration.)
4. Enter compiz --replace & disown to restart your desktop.

You can also look at the settings you have:dconf dump /org/compiz/

It is also possible that you removed the packages for the menubar and sidebar. In this case, you have to reinstall ubuntu-desktop.

1. Open the terminal by clicking Ctrl+Alt+T .
2. Enter sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop.

If pressing Ctrl+Alt+T doesn't open the terminal, press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to start your bash, login with your username and password, and input the above code.

If terminal says command "dconf" not found, install dconf-tools by entering:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

Hopefully this will help you get back your desktop.

Edit:

Since you can't connect to the internet, here's what you should do:

For LAN internet connection, do the following in the bash:

1. sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

2. Replace everything with:

   auto eth0

   iface eth0 inet dhcp

3. Press Ctrl+X then Y then Enter.

4. sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

This worked for me:

sudo dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
setsid unity
unity --reset-icons
