I installed that theme recently and it didn't break anything in the process.
Try loging in and starting X in the terminal:

Code: Select all

$ startx
Still, you can try removing the package:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove orta theme &&  apt-get autoremove
Also you can try removing the ppa and updating:

Code: Select all

sudo ppa-purge ppa:nikount/orta-desktop &&  apt-get update
Nevertheless I don't think the problem is in Orta theme nor the PPA
