[Bug 1490277] Re: Unity dash fails to show applications

 

I have now tried setting up another account on the same installation of Wily.  The problem is there as well.  I've been trying to get friends to run Wily, and try the steps that I found caused the problem.  So far with little success.  The steps are:
Open an online account with Google, and use it to connect to google-contacts or evolution.  Then go to Online Accounts, and turn off access for the applications listed as connecting to that account.  This was how my problem began.

Title:
  Unity dash fails to show applications

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
