If it was my computer, I would first remove the HP-installer that started
the problem and first try to get a normal working system.
It looks if you are possibly using a gnome-desktop-environment.  If so try:

$ sudo aptitude install task-gnome-desktop.

If you use a different one, try the related task-<your desktop
environment>-desktop

Aptitude should then show you all that is necessary to restore a working
desktop environment.

I do not use synaptic so I cannot help you with that.
