[Bug 1908275] Re: ubuntu dock + desktop icons disappeared

[Paul White ]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.

Further to your feedback I'll close this as being invalid as the issue
seems to have been resolved, in part at least, by reinstalling the
ubuntu-dock package.

Should you experience similar problems in future please raise a bug
report against the affected package and not ubiquity (the installer).
Thanks.

** Package changed: ubiquity (Ubuntu) => ubuntu

** Changed in: ubuntu
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

Title:
  ubuntu dock + desktop icons disappeared

Status in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After starting my computer, ubuntu dock was absent. Through using the hot corner it is reachable and functional, but otherwise it is invisible.
  The settings | appearance menu: position on screen dropdown goes blank, but setting anything does not either change (fix) the position. The rest of settings is greyed out.
  The hints from https://itsfoss.com/disable-ubuntu-dock/: the "extensions" application does not list anything from the "built-in" section, e.g. desktop icons + ubuntu appindicators + ubuntu dock.
  In case I try to reinstall (enable?) dock from gnome extensions, it says "error". Before the on-off button changed permanently to "error", triggering it put these lines in logs:

  It may be the result of system corruption, since in the last years my
  computer tends NOT to come back from suspend (from 30% now it reached
  100%).
