I am running VirtualBox Version 5.0.22 with Ubuntu 16.04. I performed an update today and then got into the problem that has happened to so many others:

Icons&menys dissapeared.

There is a thread for this discussed here:

Unity doesn't load, no Launcher, no Dash appears

But, I believe I have tried everything discussed in that thread, like:

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

and:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop sudo apt-get install unity

and:

using unity-tweak-tool.

and:

and enable Unity using ccsm,

and

export DISPLAY=:0
sudo dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ setsid unity

and other suggestions presented:

but nothing seem to works.

Anyone else who have run into this?

Someone who have a suggestion not already discussed or have a proposal of a solution already presented, that needs some tweaking for 16.04 ?

  • Is this really a duplicate if the 10 most upvoted answers in the "duplicate" don't work? Sure, the symptoms are the same, but the solution is not. – fuenfundachtzig Sep 27 '16 at 21:05

I had the same problem and none of the solutions worked. Until I found this answer which was posted just 5 hours ago.

Delete your .cache folder in your home directory and reboot. It also deletes your settings and locked launch bar icons but that is no big deal.

  • Thanks for the input. I reinstalled the VM since it was a kinda new Image, if it happends again, I will remove the .cache folder. Thanks. – Bluenine Oct 03 '16 at 05:25
