Ubuntu – Ubuntu 16.04 launcher is missing after installing new updates

16.04launcherunity

I upgraded to 16.04 from 15.10 and every things was good. After installing new updates, launcher, menus and top panel disappear when I login.

I tried this commands:

dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
setsid unity

Also used ccsm command and checked that Unity plugins is enabled. Still problem exists.

How to solve this?

After spending so much times and searching, I tested almost all the solutions on the internet.

But problem didn't solve. Totally the only solution which worked for me was follwing this instruction:

open /usr/bin/ and run gnome-terminal.real
run adduser newuser to create a new user
run kill -9 -1 to logout
login using newuser
do #1 again
run su olduser and enter your password
run mv /home/olduser /home/olduser_backup
run mkdir /home/olduser
run chown olduser:olduser /home/olduser
run reboot
login using olduser

Totally you can delete newuser by running these commands:

sudo deluser newuser
sudo rm /home/newuser -rf

Dude, I'm sorry to say but it seems like you might have to reinstall Ubuntu, mate.

Do you have access to a terminal? In that case it may be enough to just reinstall the Ubuntu desktop and unity:

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

Those are the packages that seems to be screwing up. Good luck, mate!
