Ubuntu 18.04 can't start nautilus or terminal

This started happening after I installed Chrome Remote Desktop. In addition, my Google Chrome forgot all of my information and I have to type in all my passwords, sync my bookmarks, etc. Ubuntu's password manager also says Key manager wasn't unlocked on log in and makes me type my password for the Ubuntu password manager, even though I just logged into my account. I'd like to uninstall Chrome Remote Desktop, because it seems to have been the problem, but I can't open Terminal. I've tried using the shortcut and CTRL+ALT+T and launching it from the start menu.

When I do launch terminal, I can see it in my System Monitor as seen here but I can't actually see it, and it closes after a while.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Solution 1:

As Bernard said in a comment above, the windows were opening on another virtual desktop. Switching to my 3rd virtual desktop with CTRL+ALT+F3 let me uninstall the Chrome Remote Desktop package from the shell sudo apt remove chrome-remote-desktop.

Google may have taken over my machine, but Linux is strong enough to recover when the user can learn to control it :)
