This problem actually appeared out of the blue. I've nearly exhausted every option I can find here, but it barely helped.

Here is my situation:

  1. I tried ccsm to enable Ubuntu unity plugin, but every options are unchecked and it seems every time I configure and exit, it revert back to "everything unchecked".

  2. My guest account seems working normally.

  3. Reinstalling ubuntu-desktop and unity also didn't help.

  4. After trying export DISPLAY=:0

    sudo dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
setsid unity

Unity launcher and the panel flashed for a split of a second and then disappeared again

I have ubuntu 16.04 and these are the steps that worked for me:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install –reinstall ubuntu-desktop
$ sudo apt-get install unity
$ rm -rf ~/.cache/compizconfig-1
$ sudo shutdown -r now
