Public bug reported: I've upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10 (development) from 13.04.
When tapping the Super key, the Dash appears, but is empty. When typing anything, the loading indicator spins forever. unity displays the following on STDERR: WARN 2013-10-08 22:47:26 unity.glib-gio <unknown>:0 g_settings_set_value: value for key 'visual-bell-type' in schema 'org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences' is outside of valid range WARN 2013-10-08 22:47:26 unity.glib-gio <unknown>:0 g_settings_set_value: value for key 'visual-bell-type' in schema 'org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences' is outside of valid range WARN 2013-10-08 22:47:53 unity.dash.gsettingsscopereader GSettingsScopes.cpp:108 Error fetching protocol metadata for scope: home.scope : Valid key file could not be found in search dirs WARN 2013-10-08 22:47:53 unity.dash.gsettingsscopereader GSettingsScopes.cpp:108 Error fetching protocol metadata for scope: applications.scope : Valid key file could not be found in search dirs WARN 2013-10-08 22:47:53 unity.dash.gsettingsscopereader GSettingsScopes.cpp:108 Error fetching protocol metadata for scope: files.scope : Valid key file could not be found in search dirs WARN 2013-10-08 22:47:53 unity.dash.gsettingsscopereader GSettingsScopes.cpp:108 Error fetching protocol metadata for scope: video.scope : Valid key file could not be found in search dirs WARN 2013-10-08 22:47:53 unity.dash.gsettingsscopereader GSettingsScopes.cpp:108 Error fetching protocol metadata for scope: music.scope : Valid key file could not be found in search dirs WARN 2013-10-08 22:47:53 unity.dash.gsettingsscopereader GSettingsScopes.cpp:108 Error fetching protocol metadata for scope: photos.scope : Valid key file could not be found in search dirs WARN 2013-10-08 22:47:53 unity.dash.gsettingsscopereader GSettingsScopes.cpp:108 Error fetching protocol metadata for scope: social.scope : Valid key file could not be found in search dirs ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: unity 7.1.1+13.10.20131004-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-11.17-generic 3.11.3 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-11-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,composite,opengl,decor,resize,compiztoolbox,put,vpswitch,snap,mousepoll,regex,place,session,move,grid,animation,imgpng,wall,expo,unitymtgrabhandles,workarounds,ezoom,staticswitcher,fade,scale,unityshell] Date: Tue Oct 8 22:40:13 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-05-28 (498 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: unity UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to saucy on 2013-10-08 (0 days ago) ** Affects: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug saucy third-party-packages -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.
