Every other time I reboot, I loose my applications lens in Unity!

It was working about an hour ago, now it doesn't give any results (even for "firefox" for example). What's wrong ?

I have the same problem. Selecting "Applications" just results in an empty box and no searches come up with any applications.

I finally found this solution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1853156

I ran the command that begins: "sudo apt-get install --reinstall..."

I got some errors that some packages did not exist, so I just removed them from the command line and tried the command again, until it worked.

"sudo lightdm restart" gave me an error...apparently root does not have permission to access a user's display manager? But no matter...the apt-get re-install did the trick and the next time I clicked on the dash home, the applications were all back.
