In order to work properly, Unity Tweak Tool recommends you install the necessary packages
Install the package unity-webapps-service

3I have the same problem but can't install the package. I get this error message: The following packages have unmet dependencies. unity-webapps-service : Depends: webapp-container – Mrokii Feb 24 '15 at 10:12

2I dont want webapps in my Desktop PC... Why can I not use a tweak tool without having a completely useless Ubuntu browser – Kaspar May 2 '15 at 17:52

6Does this mean that the package for Unity Tweak Tool should have this package as a dependency but doesn't? – andrybak Oct 12 '15 at 21:28
Just a command line way to do jackyzy823's answer:
mkdir tweak;cd tweak
sudo apt-get download unity-webapps-service
ar xvf *
tar xvf data*
sudo mv usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/com.canonical.unity.webapps.gschema.xml /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
cd ..; sudo rm -Rf tweak

4Beautiful! Works like a charm if you can't get the webapps-service to install. Thanks. – Andrew Fielden Oct 28 '15 at 10:23

2Thanks, I have upvoted both answers. Just a suggestion, though: you might want to specify which answer you mean by 'above' - in this case jackyzy823's answer. – Hitechcomputergeek Nov 8 '15 at 2:24

1In my case I didn't install anything. My theme and custom icon pack randomly stopped working and returned to default. Trying to re-configure it with Unity Tweak Tool failed with the same error as the OP. This answer fixed it. – Nahuel May 9 '16 at 19:10

In my case, I was getting this error because I actually do not have the
notify-osd
package installed; I am usingxfce4-notifyd
instead. So my fix was exactly as @mchid explained, only I downloadednotify-osd
instead ofunity-webapps-service
. Works like a charm. – Jonathan Landrum Feb 28 '17 at 20:57
A tricky way for this,because i do not want to download so many dependencies for unity-webapps-service
.
extract the file com.canonical.unity.webapps.gschema.xml
(you can see it in http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/amd64/unity-webapps-service/filelist) in package unity-webapps-service
,put this file to /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
and finally sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
and it works.

2Thanks! This is the best answer, as unity-webapps-service refuses to be installed. – Sumit Jain Jul 13 '15 at 6:19

@thesdog go here packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/unity-webapps-service. Download the deb package, and unpack using the instructions in the post below by mchid. – Andrew Fielden Oct 28 '15 at 10:18
Simple solution.
Just Install necessary packages.
sudo apt-get install unity-webapps-common

2I get this error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: unity-webapps-common : Depends: unity-webapps-service (>= 2.3.8-0ubuntu3) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Synaptic says I have no broken packages. – Marc May 4 '15 at 1:13 -
how did you know to install
unity-webapps-common
? It's not mentioned at all in the error screen shown in OP. Is it mystic knowledge that comes to you when you sleep? – frumbert May 7 '15 at 10:23
I had no problem installing webapps service and webapps common. My exact problem was the package
com.canonical.unity.FileLens
was missing. I misread the screenshot in this question, and spent more than half an hour trying to figure out why even though unity webapps service and webapps common are installed unity tweak tool is not working. Finally I found out the above package was missing instead of the one mentioned in the screenshot.
To solve this error, install the unity-lens-files
package
sudo apt-get install unity-lens-files
That's it. Unity Tweak Tool is now working! (finally!)
For those who still need a solution: the problem occurs if one uninstalls the overlay scrollbars. To solve the problem, install the overlay scroll bars again (sudo apt-get install overlay-scrollbar
) and disable them via the Unity Tweak Tool itself. (System > Scrolling)
In case of Ubuntu 19 or later, install the unity-lens-applications
package by running:
sudo apt install unity-lens-applications
Simple, and effective type
sudo apt-get install unity-webapps-common unity-webapps-service
into the terminal

yes..dear, that answer in already given above. Installing unity-webapps-service is enough. – Muddassir Nazir Apr 25 '15 at 14:56
You need is to use synaptic. Try these:
- Install synaptic: "sudo apt-get install synaptic" in the terminal.
- Open Synaptic from the dash or from terminal sudo synaptic.
- Click on Custom Filters then Missing Recommended Packages.
- Highlight all and right click mark for installation
- Click apply on the toolbar.
Go to the terminal and run the following commands. This works for me. Hope it works for you.
sudo apt-get install --reinstall notify-osd
sudo apt-get install --reinstall overlay-scrollbar
apt-file search
). – Rmano Apr 18 '14 at 18:29com.canonical.unity.webapps.gschema.xml
; maybe you need to runsudo apt-file update
? – mchid Jul 28 '15 at 10:14
