One of the workarounds over the winter for those where the menus didn't show most or all of the time was to delete some folders in either .local or .config. This would generally have the effect of returning menus & having that happen for a while or at least more often or not. So it may be that inserting that conf file was about the same. At some point the missing menus will return and that's just what is seen here. Over maybe 10 restarts or shutdown > restart the menus are again not showing most of the time. (this is a new install from Tues., my older install on a different laptop gets menus at least 95% of the time but I think only the behavior on new(er) installs is relevant here. So far the only 100% 'method' to get menus is to restart the service during the user login. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1532226 Title: A significant number of fresh boots or restarts result in no menus for most apps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1532226/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
