I just had this happen on my MX4 ubuntu edition - extreemly scary and didn't know what caused it till I read this bug. The workaround worked - but I couldn't get to the terminal on the phone (a: not installed by default, b: not a shortcut on the launcher) and without the app scope the device is essentially soft bricked - i was able to attach to my laptop, and do `adb shell` fortunately then run the command, a more serious pitfall for beginning developers.
Can we have a "if scope exists" check on loading favorite scopes at boot? or in the reset settings a reset scope favorites (either would be enough to ease hit on this one, as one of the first things I did was do the reset launcher button) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-scopes-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1389698 Title: Favoriting QtCreator-ran scope results in blank dash Status in qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity-scopes-api package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in unity-scopes-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Unity8 on mako rtm #6 won't load any scope installed in the system. Sometimes it stays on the loading screen with the activity indicator spinning, or it may also end up with the white/grey background, but no scopes are loaded. I can't use the phone right now, since I can't launch apps from the app scope. The left panel works, though. This all started after I played a bit with QtCreator because I'm developing a scope for the contest. I don't know exactly which files to attach, meanwhile there's ~/.cache/upstart/scope-register.log. Tell me if you need more information. Thanks in advance for the help, Giulio Potential steps to reproduce: - run a custom scope from QtCreator - add that scope to favorites - close QtCreator This seems to leave the phone in a state where it can't load the scopes any more. The below helps to clear this again: $ gsettings reset com.canonical.Unity.Dash favorite-scopes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtcreator-plugin-ubuntu/+bug/1389698/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
