I have already looked at the similar questions, but none of the solutions there worked for me. Basically, I can edit and remove icons just fine when I am in a session, but the next time I am logged in, they are reset to the default.
Even more perplexing is this. If I start dconf-editor, and navigate to desktop>unity>launcher, it shows the favorites that are supposed to be there, yet the default ones are still in the Launcher.
I have already tried sudo apt-get purge unity
and then sudo apt-get install unity
from a GNOME session, but to no avail. Any suggestions?
Edit:
I also tried running gksudo dconf-editor
to run the program with elevated privileges. Again I navigated to desktop>unity>launcher. This time the default string was there, but when I tried to edit it, it would not change to what I typed.
unity --reset
.unity --reset
. However, when I do that, the command always seems to halt at a certain part. I'm not sure at what part though. I'll try running it and letting it sit for an extended period of time and then I'll try it with elevated privileges.sudo unity --reset
, it doesn't like that. Here is the output: pastebin.com/mycrRQXt. When I just dounity --reset
it gets to a certain point, then hangs. Here is the output for that: pastebin.com/sMjikhwb
