I also lost my panel and launcher. At the time I was modifying settings in compizconfig, in particular the maximumize settings.
Logging in/out and rebooting didn't bring back the launcher and panel. All I had was nautilus running. Starting "unity --replace" from an xterm that I started from nautilus gave me the same messages as above, including the errors about "Option "next_button" already defined" (which is how I found this bug). I eventually recovered by renaming my ~/.config and ~/.gconf out of the way. I would attach those, but they probably contain plenty of private stuff. If there's anything you'd like me to look at in there, I'm happy to do so. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874145 Title: lost panel and launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/874145/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
