This might be a "different" bug but I highly doubt it as the original bug behaviour followed:
In the dash (right? When pressing Win-start) all icons suddenly stopped appearing. What had happened just before: I closed firefox (that had gotten slow) and updated firefox and more: 2014-10-16 14:30:47 upgrade firefox:amd64 34.0~b1+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~ricotz1 34.0~b1+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~ricotz1 2014-10-16 14:30:52 upgrade firefox-locale-en:amd64 34.0~b1+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~ricotz1 34.0~b1+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~ricotz1 2014-10-16 14:30:54 status installed man-db:amd64 2.6.7.1-1ubuntu1 2014-10-16 14:30:54 status installed gnome-menus:amd64 3.10.1-0ubuntu2 2014-10-16 14:30:55 status installed desktop-file-utils:amd64 0.22-1ubuntu1 2014-10-16 14:30:55 status installed bamfdaemon:amd64 0.5.1+14.04.20140409-0ubuntu1 2014-10-16 14:30:56 status installed mime-support:all 3.54ubuntu1 2014-10-16 14:30:59 status installed firefox:amd64 34.0~b1+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~ricotz1 2014-10-16 14:30:59 status installed firefox-locale-en:amd64 34.0~b1+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1~ricotz1 Note the icons did not appear afterwards even though firefox was not running - memory may mave been limitted before when firefox was running but should have freed up when I closed it; nothing much else was running so it should not - still - be a problem in the dash. That is, it should not have happened, but in case it did, should have recovered. [I highly doubt the firefox update or others have anything to do with the icons gone as everything worked after a restart.] just preceded but is probably really just a coincidence except may have eaten up memory Then I reopened (the just updated) firefox that worked fine and had to lock the screen. There it was again, no entry field for the password. All was well after a restart before updating anything more. And also after fully updating (I believe these should have prevented the bug if installed according to their changelogs): 2014-10-16 15:08:29 upgrade thunderbird:amd64 1:31.1.2+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1
