After a reboot the launcher or dock on the left vanished and hitting the super key no longer brings the launcher, search or focus back again. OI tried reinstalling tweak tools but it doesn't work any more it seems like my GNOME broke :/ I am used to this behaviour how can I bring it back? Thanks

Launch a terminal with a hotkey :

CTRL + ALT + T

Install aptitude and reinstall gnome-shell

sudo apt-get install aptitude

sudo aptitude reinstall gnome-shell

For the next step you'll need to go to another place on the desktop and it can work to run the previous steps in case the hotkey doesn't work

CTRL + ALT + F1

You'll be presented with a login on the terminal. Type your user name and provide the password for your account

Finally reboot

sudo reboot

Edit :

I think "sudo" doesn't find the reboot command in that case do :

sudo su (you will be asked for root password)
reboot
