There is this guy.. http://askubuntu.com/questions/802468/menu-bar-and-launcher-missing-after-installing-updates-16-04-lts
which addresses virtualbox specifically. It wouldn't submit, literally nothing happened. Now that was under a 16.04 image that was upgraded to 16.04.1. When I did a fresh 16.04.1 install into VirtManager, yes, it worked, right up until I set launcher to autohide, then it was good night Charlie Brown. . If you are not using an existing 16.04(.0) image then you can't reproduce the issue. But, as you can see from the above URL, someone else reported the very same upgrade problem as I did. SOmething you should take a look at is 1001255, that is likely the culprit, with the exception of unable to move windows, as I reported as well as the above url. Are there no launchpad bugs opened against 16.04.1 re: immovable desktop windows? Being a VM I am guessing the image's concept of its video device is done externally like spice/qxl. Remember, when you first boot a new image, the launcher is set to autohide=no. Turning autohide=yes will immediately create the issue. As I mentioned im my comment in the above askubuntu issue, renaming that subdir simply restores the laucher, it does not fix autohide=yes. Ah, very interesting! I brought that image back and the suggested 'fix' of removing .config/compiz-1 restores the launcher but disables any effect of setting the autohide. I showed it as autohide on yet the launcher was visbile. I did restore setting, which turned autohide=off and then switched it to on and it is showing, regardless of what I do. I thought I'd try it with a different browser. I see chrome is not an option so I tried the ubuntu brand browser...it won't let me choose the file to attach. This stuff, your bug-ubuntu needs some work. This is crazy. I just tried firefox again and it allows me to choose files but the Submit Bug Report button is inop. It appears I can provide no further information. The other thing Sebastien, if you can not reproduce the bug, you can't verify the fix. This is a critical bug for me. I can not upgrade existing 14.04 desktops if doing so breaks them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1606358 Title: Ubuntu 16.04.1 unity disappears when set to autohide To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1606358/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
