Reverting from Ctrl - Alt - F1
I tried to install an nvidia driver and there was an error saying I must not be in an X terminal when doing so. So I did a Ctrl+Alt+F1.
The resulting terminal did not allow the nvidia driver to be installed and showed the same error message. How do I revert back to the Unity GUI?

Ctrl+Alt+F1 to F6 are the virtual consoles provided by the getty/agetty programs.
Ctrl+Alt+F7 is the console where your X server is running. The GUI (Gnome/KDE or any other) runs over X.
So to get back into your GUI window manager: type:
Ctrl+Alt+F7
or
Alt+F7
or
Ctrl+Alt+F8
With 17.10 and newer, the login screen is on TTY1, and logged-in users' GUI sessions on TTY2 and onwards. So, you may need to use Ctrl+Alt+F2 or Ctrl+Alt+F1 instead.

It has been already mentioned that cycling with Alt+ArrowLeft until you get back to your bellowed desktop also works, especially accross distro's (my Fedora 20, for instance, has GUI on F2), so it's convenient.
There's also a crude method: login and run sudo service lightdm restart, which will restart your session ( so yes, you will be logged out and will get back to login screen ). This answer also takes into account that your login manager might not be lightdm, but the idea is the same.

You can determine on which terminals you and any other users are logged in with the who command. For me it was tty9, so I had to press Ctrl+Alt+F9.

It has been already mentioned that cycling with Alt+ArrowLeft until you get back to your bellowed desktop also works, especially accross distro's (my Fedora 20, for instance, has GUI on F2), so it's convenient.
There's also a crude method: login and run sudo service lightdm restart, which will restart your session ( so yes, you will be logged out and will get back to login screen ). This answer also takes into account that your login manager might not be lightdm, but the idea is the same.

You can determine on which terminals you and any other users are logged in with the who command. For me it was tty9, so I had to press Ctrl+Alt+F9.

Thanks, @EliahKagan! Useful comments are so seldom upvoted on StackExchange. I found that related question very useful when dealing with the problem that brought me to this one, and I'm sure others have/will as well. Thank you.
