I may have not described the problem correctly in the title. It's probably a simple issue, but I'm not sure how to go about diagnosing it.
I was running gnome 3 for awhile using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
This morning I installed the critical updates from Ubuntu's software manager and that worked like normal.
However, later in the day the computer crashed to the login screen for some reason. I don't know why. I think I was attempting to open chrome or something.
Now, whenever I log in I get the gnome classic look and feel. I'm not even sure if Gnome3 is running.
I don't know where to look for error messages or how to diagnose and fix what went wrong. I'd like to get back to Gnome3 because I feel lost without its super key.
As I learn things I'll post them here.
@Keltari asked if video drivers were installed.
I found the apt-get logfile in /var/log/apt and this is what was installed this morning:

@Keltari : I updated my post with what was updated. I have nvidia graphics, and I don't see those drivers there. is lsb-graphics anything? – Erotemic – 2013-08-26T20:43:23.713
1fglrx-amdcccle-updates, fglrx-updates - remove those and see if it works – Keltari – 2013-08-26T20:53:28.660
