Launcher disappeared

Question

I have installed Ubuntu 14.04. It worked for approx. 2 days. But today when I turned it on launcher & Menu bar was absent & ctrl+alt+t was also not working. I tried "sudo service lightdm restart" it didn't worked. Please help me.. and launcher is present in guest session but not in Admin login..

Have a look at this thread http://askubuntu.com/questions/17381/unity-doesnt-load-no-launcher-no-dash-appears. — BDRSuite, Aug 05 '15 at 13:25

If above command doesnot work try this(it saved me a week ago): `Ctrl+Alt+F1´

sudo service lightdm stop rm ~/.config/dconf/user sudo service lightdm start

Further look here: 14.04 LTS No Dash / Launcher after update through Software Updater

This deletes all your unity settings, including wallpaper, unity bar shortcuts, ...! – sauerburger Aug 08 '16 at 23:19

I have tried many different things, but below solution worked for me:

Go to your folder: usr/bin and click "gnome-terminal".
When terminal opens write "ccsm"
This will open unity screen.
Select "unity plugin" and then tick "enable unity plugin" option.
That will bring back your dashboard.

I tried this, but nothing happens, and after I close ccsm and reopen it, none of the settings seemed to stay there. – Max Candocia Apr 11 '18 at 02:54
Yeah, re-login and set the mode to 'unity' is the key step. – Siwei Sep 19 '19 at 09:50
