I am presented with the same issue that the one described here: no dash and no launcher upon login.

I am creating a new question though because the solution doesn't resolve the problem.

Note that I am able to login Ubuntu Flashback where everything is normal.

  • Which solution did you try? Was there an error message of some sort? – David Foerster Jan 11 '15 at 12:55
  • @DavidFoerster The first one, with ccsm. There was no error message. – bela83 Jan 11 '15 at 13:25
  • Do you realise that this answer is from 2011? Please look at one of the later answers, specifically those that say they refer to 14.04 or 14.10 or that have comments confirming they work in those releases. – David Foerster Jan 11 '15 at 13:39
  • @DavidFoerster Sure but none of them is specifically targeted at 14.10 – bela83 Jan 11 '15 at 14:05
  • To downvoter: please be specific about what is incorrect here, or shows no research effort. – bela83 Jan 11 '15 at 14:08
  • what does /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p report? – doug Jan 11 '15 at 20:34

    Log in to a guest session & see if unity/compiz loads there. – doug Jan 12 '15 at 15:03
  • @doug thank you that was useful. Unity/compiz loads in a guest session. – bela83 Jan 12 '15 at 21:39

    Well then you know now it's something in your config. Maybe try a reset compiz & restart unity command. Provide yourself a means open a terminal while in the ubuntu(unity) session. Login, open a terminal, then 2 commands. dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ followed by setsid unity (- if need be log into flashback session & place the terminal launcher on the Desktop., then log into ubuntu session, ect. – doug Jan 12 '15 at 22:05
  • @doug I could do what you suggest, but it doesn't work. compiz (core) - Error: Plugin 'opengl' not loaded. – bela83 Jan 12 '15 at 22:37
  • It may be easier for you to resolve this in an interactive forum like Ubuntu forums, anyway - log into ubuntu session, open a terminal & go ccsm. The first 3 lines should be Backend : gsettings Integration : true, Profile : unity. A Profile of Default would be wrong. So check that first. If profile is unity then try enabling OpenGl, Composite, Ubuntu unity plugin ect. If profile isn't unity then go to Preferences > Profile, choose unity, then go back & enable mentioned plugins – doug Jan 12 '15 at 22:54
  • @doug definitely! But I didn't imagine it would be such a mess. Anyway now it works! If you feel like reformatting your comments in an answer, I would gratefully accept it. – bela83 Jan 12 '15 at 23:15

    Not the OP but I also can't run dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ ... Cannot auto launch d-bus without X11 $DISPLAY – JeanSibelius Feb 28 '15 at 23:07
