[Bug 1490277] [NEW] Unity dash fails to show applications

 

Public bug reported:

Immediately after removing interaction with all Google accounts
(settings->online accounts), the Unity dash no longer showed any
applications, only files recently accessed.  The launcher sidebar is
unaffected, and the dash appears as normal but without access to
applications.  I re-instated all the default online account setting with
no effect even after re-booting.  I found in an Ubuntu wiki, a
workaround for the same problem in 15.04, but this is not longer
useable, as the '--reset' Unity commandline parameter, which was
required, has now been removed.  So far, I can't find where this
information is stored, and there is no useful item to edit in the Unity
plugin as seen in cssm.  I am willing to try anything suggested and
report.
