Thanks for reporting this problem and trying to make Ubuntu better, but the description is vague and makes it difficult for us to investigate.
Is the problem that applications crash on startup (as in comment #6) or is the problem that the desktop crashes (as in the bug title), which means the Launcher and Panel disappear? If the latter, do they return shortly? Are the symptoms something else entirely? Since you're running a prerelease version of Ubuntu, a crash normally causes apport (the crash reporter dialog) to include information on the cause, including necessary debug and log information. This clearly did not happen when this bug was reported. Is there any additional information you can supply that might aid us in determining your problem? ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1283671 Title: 14.04 daily build (2014-02-21): unity desktop crashes on every application start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1283671/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
