Hi, I had the issue today and thanks to @v2min I can replicate it.
The issue appeared cause I have my screen turned off when I powered on the computer. My specs: Ubuntu 18.10 AMD R9 290 with default kernel driver (amdgpu) I had to reboot cause when I logging out, the current session hang and open a new session (ctrl+alt+f2) doesn't resolve the issue. If more infos or logs needed just ask. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1801494 Title: dock missing Status in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: 1) Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Release: 18.04 2) $ apt-cache policy gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock: Installed: 0.9.1ubuntu18.04.1 Candidate: 0.9.1ubuntu18.04.1 Version table: *** 0.9.1ubuntu18.04.1 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.9.1 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main i386 Packages 4) dock is there 5) dock is not there To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock/+bug/1801494/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
