I was trying to get rid of dash plugins within the search, so I created & copied a list of my scopes and used:

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Lenses disabled-scopes "[$(find /usr/share/unity/scopes/ -name \*.scope -printf "'%P',"|sed -es':/:-:g' -e's/,$//')]"

from here which totally blanked out the search HUD -as in no access to installed apps or files. However when I try to use 

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Lenses enable-scopes "['wherever.scope']"

to get indivdual (or all) back I get "no such key enable-scopes". So, what am I not doing right to get singular items (or the the whole thing if need be) back?

Login to Ubuntu and use Ctrl + Alt + F1 to enter TTY. Next, enter user name, password, and run the following command.

Code:

unity --reset

Wait until the process is complete and your user name appears again. Use Ctrl + Alt + F7 to renter the desktop environment

  • I just get code:: command not found. Should I be using sudo or something else? Thank you for your time and answer! – NotThatStevieHwk May 10 '14 at 15:00
  • unity --reset is the command. type that alone and see – Bibi424 May 10 '14 at 15:17
  • Nope. It shows "Reset Option is Depricated" I checked, it's been unused since 12.10. (although no one has said anything other than using ccsm which does not help my problem) – NotThatStevieHwk May 10 '14 at 15:58
  • try dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ & unity --reset-icons &disown as per this post http://askubuntu.com/questions/17381/unity-doesnt-load-no-launcher-no-dash-appears/286349#286349 – Bibi424 May 10 '14 at 16:04
  • That reset the bar, which makes me think I've not asked my question properly (see edit). Sorry if I mislead you or wasted your time. – NotThatStevieHwk May 10 '14 at 23:11

I have tried myself this command

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Lenses disabled-scopes "[$(find /usr/share/unity/scopes/ -name \*.scope -printf "'%P',"|sed -es':/:-:g' -e's/,$//')]"

and removed all shortcuts to application from HUD

then to re-enable it you have to simply run 

 gsettings reset com.canonical.Unity.Lenses disabled-scopes

I got this info from 

man gsettings
