I don't know why this bug is marked as fixed, because it has just happened to me. Ubuntu 18.04 Gnome 3.28.2
The workaround mentioned, to reset the entire dconf settings, is not a good idea for me, having made a number of personalisations there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1712698 Title: Uninstalling Dash To Dock does not restore Ubuntu Dock Status in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Using 17.10 daily. Installed Dash To Dock to test settings compatibility etc... Finished testing. Uninstalled Dash To Dock. Expected Ubuntu Dock to reappear. It did not, even after a shell restart and log out/in. I was able to get it back by reinstalling and disabling Dash To Dock. Ubuntu Dock folder still exists in the system extension folder, but it's desktop appearance seems now permanently dependent on Dash To Dock's installation.
