I solved this problem recently, the problem occurred (in my case) because I removed shortcuts manually via the "menu" option, in the "other" tab. In order to have those needed shortcuts back, I went to ~/.local/share/applications/ and removed *.desktop (I don't know exactly which *.desktop caused the problem, though). Doing this, all user added/removed shortcuts revert to original state.
The problem here is that Unity does not even use this menu except for "open with" menu... so it's weird that it affects unity at a point it does not even start anymore. Hope it helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/774293 Title: Unity fails to start after logging in -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
