Title: "unity --reset" wrongly says "deprecated" and fails to say what to do instead Status in Unity: In Progress Status in unity package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: unity 7.2.5+14.04.20150603-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu 14.04 1. Switch to a console, for example by typing Ctrl Alt F1. 2. Enter "unity --reset" (without quotes). What happens: A. "WARNING: no DISPLAY variable set, setting it to :0" B. "ERROR: the reset option is now deprecated" C. Nothing else. What's wrong with this: A. Unity rambles about no DISPLAY variable being set, despite knowing that it isn't going to use one anyway. B. "reset" is either deprecated, or it is an error. It can't be both. "Deprecated" means that something is planned to stop working sometime in the future. C. Unity exits without telling you what to use instead. What should happen: either A. "unity --reset" should Just Work, or B. the message should say "ERROR: the reset option is no longer allowed"; and C. it should tell you just to use "unity" by itself next time.
