When I started my laptop (hp pavillion series with Ubuntu 16.04) this morning, I got the usual login prompt, but when I entered my password and logged in, there was no launcher, no menu, nothing.

I searched for solutions on Ask Ubuntu and got the link to Unity doesn't load, no Launcher, no Dash appears.

I did the mentioned steps and I got back my launcher only with limited icons and no menu bar. Then, I rebooted my laptop and again the launcher disappeared. So, this is the current status of my laptop.

How can I fix it?

    I have done every single steps mentioned in that. It still doesn't work. I was getting a clicking sound beforehand and now the clicking sound stopped and unity is not loading. – Deepak Kumar May 18 '18 at 06:48
  • @DeepakKumar was there any problem during installation – Prvt_Yadav May 18 '18 at 06:59
  • No, I have had this version for almost a year. I have tried the solution in the other answer, I got my launcher back but only half of my icons are there and there is no menu bar appearing and when I rebooted, it all again disappeared. – Deepak Kumar May 18 '18 at 07:02
  • Could you please add a little more detail? What exactly did you do, what did you expect to happen and what happened instead? Did you encounter any warning or error messages? Please reproduce them in their entirety in your question. You can select, copy and paste terminal content and most dialogue messages in Ubuntu. This will help us understand what's happening and why the usual recommendations don't work. Please [edit] your post to add information instead of posting a comment.

  • I totally understand the procedure of asking questions. When I started my laptop (hp pavillion series with Ubuntu 16.04) this morning, I got the usual login prompt but when i entered my password and logged in, there was no launcher, no menu, nothing. Then, I searched for solutions on askubuntu and got the link to above mentioned post " unity doesn't load...". I did the mentioned steps and I got back my launcher only with limited icons and no menu bar. Then, I rebooted my laptop and again the launcher disappeared. So, this is the current status of my laptop. Please let me know the approach. – Deepak Kumar May 18 '18 at 07:33
