I'm having this problem.

Tried this:

$ unity --reset

This command hangs up on 'Setting Update "run_key"'

Also tried this:

$ ccmd

Unity plugin was disabled. I enabled it and rebooted. But still no luck.

Also tried this:

$ rm -rf ~/.config/compiz-1/compizconfig/*
$ rm -rf .compiz-1
$ sudo apt-get purge compizconfig-settings-manager

Nothing happened.

Also tried this:

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

It didn't work.

Any ideas?

Try this:

Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command below.

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

  • If that did not work, then take a look at this askubuntu.com/questions/70572/…

  • Nothing works. Seems like a plugin is missing or something, and it breaks everything. I need something more drastic. Installing ubunt-desktop took a lot of time the first time (I installed from server edition) but I wouldn't care as long as I don't have to reinstall from live CD and lose my files. But this time with the '--reinstall' parameter it took just a second, not what I expected. Any ideas? Jun 4, 2012 at 20:20

I ended up reinstalling the whole system.
