Sorry folks, but as part of the bug clean up ahead of 16.04 LTS I'm marking this as invalid because it affects an Ubuntu release which is now unsupported. If you can still recreate this bug in a supported release please do open a new bug and we can triage it for consideration in the 16.04 LTS development cycle.
** Changed in: compiz Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1410594 Title: Compiz/Unity not launching at startup Status in Compiz: Invalid Status in Unity: Invalid Status in compiz package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Ubuntu 14.10 Compiz 0.9.12 Unity 7.3.1 uname 3.16.0-29-generic Upon login to my Unity session, no sidebar or top menu bar is present; it does load desktop icons and the desktop image. Unity commands (CTRL-ALT-T for terminal app) don't work, but system commands do. Applications can only be launched by system command, and when they do they have no window dressing. I launched unity from a terminal, and got some of my desktop back (no indicators, system widgets). Steps taken for remedy/debug: - I have tried reinstalling a number of packages: compiz, ccsm, unity, unity-tweak-tool. - I tried to use `xprop WM_CLASS` to see what was being displayed in the top bar once unity was initialized; clicking the blank area where indicators would have been returned `WM_CLASS: not found` - ran most system testing suites. After reboot test, and resuming checkbox, terminal displayed the following: app_id : "com.canonical.checkbox-gui" "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."
