OK, I thought it might be https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1320539 (Dash search of applications is randomly disabled when online searches have been turned off) but apparently not. Don't know then, sorry.

Hi Colin Thanks for your reply which seems to have disappeared! No, the online search is not disabled - but I think I had it disabled when I was trying to avoid google interference. Re-enabling everything did not cure the problem.

I know it should not make any difference, but if so then try enabling it again.

Thanks for your quick response. The launcher hasn't changed. The dash appears as normal, but shows only documents.

I had removed all of the google integration settings from the system settings -> online accounts with the exception of contacts. It may have been co-incidental, but immediately after that, the problem first occurred. the problem does seem to have occurred in 15.04, but as I say, the workaround for that no longer works. I do have ccsm installed, but there doesn't seem to be anything I can do to the Unity plugin that looks promising. Otherwise, it's nice to be back with Ubuntu after a few months mainly on Mint because of Wine being broken from 14.10 through to 15.04. Once the fix reached 15.10, Mint is only there as an emergency backup.

I have seen it become disabled sometimes. When that happens you get no launcher.

[ubuntu-uk] 15.10 Wily - Dash problem
Hi there The dash on my 15.10 desktop 64 bit installation won't show any applications. This happened immediately after I'd tried to 'de-google' the system as far as I was able. I've since allowed google the same access as the default, but still can't get apps to show in the dash. The ideas suggested for 15.04 in one or more of the forums no longer works because unity no longer supports the --reset command that was part of the suggestion. I've run out of ideas, short of a re-install if all else fails. I don't even know what I'm looking for as the dash seems to be very much a part of unity. Any thoughts?
