I can't believe it. I have been trying so many things to fix this bug. The bug is now largely fixed but a few problems remain. (see below) Last night just before I reported this bug, I removed and reinstalled the compiz, unity and gconf packages using apt-get. I am not absolutely sure that how much was actually removed as I got a number of messages about not being able to remove /usr/share/dbus-1/services. files. In order to let these packages be re-installed I removed the whole directory:
sudo rm /usr/share/dbus-1/services The situation now is that the window text menus now appear in the unity session. Further Alt+Tab now switches between windows. Not quite clear what has fixed this - as it the reinstall or the removal of the dbus-1 directory. The following problems still exist: Changes to System Settings Appearance don't save and existing ones take no effect, e.g. existing background. Unable to start the Terminal app. It simply does not appear. Ctrl+Alt+F1 is continues to fine. The org.gtk.vfs message still appears at start up of the session. Further I have just noticed that it appears when I press Browse Network on the Files app. The message may be completely irrelevant but it certainly did not appear when I first installed ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1548841 Title: Text Menus not displaying - org.gtk.vfs.Daemon Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I installed standard Ubuntu 14.04 LTS about a 3 weeks ago and everything has been working fine. After a fortnight of all working fine I installed Wine via the standard package manager and then installed a simple windows exe WBridge5 (using wine) and then ran it a couple of times using wine and all was fine. Note that this may be irrelevant. In the morning when I started my DELL Inspiron 6400 and after entering my password the standard desktop appeared without my previously set background; the file mgr appears automatically (without the recent files icon) and the following message appears: "Oops something went wrong. Unhandled error message: The name org.gtk.vfs.Daemon was not provided by any .Service files." After acknowledging the message, my programs operate but WITHOUT a text menu showing on the top menu bar. There are other minor inconveniences such as Alt+Tab doesn't work and there is no "Recent" option on the Files program and "System Settings Appearance" cannot be changed. The show stopper for me is that unless a program has a non text menu method of running a menu option, you are stuffed. This affects Libreoffice really badly. I have tried all sorts of things and most of these have been logged on askubuntu where there is more information.
