[Bug 1212987] Re: Unity not starting after boot

 

This same problem suddenly appeared in my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installation
today. After login, there is no launcher, no dash, and the system
shortcuts do not work. Unity itself does not work.

I have tried a bunch of different procedures that I found on forums,
like those of http://askubuntu.com/questions/17381/unity-doesnt-load-no-
launcher-no-dash-appears/286349#286349, but I couldn't make my system
work again.

After having run out of possible fixes, I don't know which else to try.,

Bug description:
  After boot today. Unity was missing. Empty desktop.
  In ccsm is seems the unity plugin was disabled somehow, I re-enabled it. 
  Unity came back but coudn't set launcher icon size in settings -> appearance -> look.

  I tried: (http://askubuntu.com/questions/17381/unity-doesnt-load-no-launcher-no-dash-appears/)
  dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ 
  unity --reset-icons &disown

  Unity did reset

  Still can set  icon size in settings -> appearance -> look.
  Have to use Unity Tweak Tool for that to set icon size on 32.
  Then started Chromium and Unity crashed again.

  Restart and still can't set icon size or launcher to autohide.
