I have the same behaviour than comment #19. For some weird reason unity plugin is being disabled from config in some updates (for me it happens from libunity6 to libunity7 in Ubuntu Saucy Salamander).
I can enable again the unity panels installing compizconfig-settings- manager (ccsm), but I try to figure out what exact files changes ccsm for maybe use the right commands and avoid the GUI for do this each time. So I fired with: strace -eopen cssm Then I see that the config files being touched after enable Unity plugin are: /run/user/1000/dconf/user /home/username/.config/dconf/user /home/username/.cache/compizconfig-1/unityshell.pb /usr/share/compiz/unityshell.xml So likely one of that files is being overwritten in package updating. Also it makes sense the dconf trick because it maybes reset one of that files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1128348 Title: Unity starts without panels To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1128348/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
