[Bug 1274287] [NEW] "unity --replace" does not exectue correctly

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

When I started my system, I was missing the clock applet from the top
panel. I found instructions on the forums to run "unity --replace"

The first time I ran it from my terminal, the screen flickered
(expected) and then the top and left panels were gone. Terminal output:

mdrob@mdrob-W530:~$ unity --replace
compiz (core) - Info: Loading plugin: core
compiz (core) - Info: Starting plugin: core
compiz (core) - Error: Another window manager is already running on screen: 0
compiz (core) - Info: Stopping plugin: core
compiz (core) - Info: Unloading plugin: core

All of my other applications were still running. Unsure of what to do, I
ran "unity --replace" again, and this time the screen flickered again,
and my panels came back, including hte clock applet. However, this time,
the terminal did not return control to me.
