Public bug reported:
unity --reset is great if you've broken your configuration.
However. If you've broken it so much that it doesn't even start
sensibly, or you can't find a terminal, then you need to use a VT or ssh
to run it. And then you get this error:
% unity --reset
WARNING: no DISPLAY variable set, setting it to :0
GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:
//bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: No protocol
specified
No protocol specified
Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/unity", line 222, in <module>
reset_unity_compiz_profile ()
File "/usr/bin/unity", line 84, in reset_unity_compiz_profile
except (GError, AttributeError), e:
NameError: global name 'GError' is not defined
[1] 8838 exit 1 unity --reset
It should definitely work in this case, restoring your config so that
you can log in!
