Unity Dash Launchers don't work

Asked by EliCoten

For some reason, quite a few launchers on the Unity Dash don't work after upgrading to Oneiric 11.10. They worked fine in Natty 11.04. Some launchers do work, but a lot don't. After doing unity --reset in a terminal, I notice the following error appears every time I click a launcher that fails to work:
WARN 2011-10-23 23:26:06 glib <unknown>:0 Unable to fetch children: Method "Children" with signature "" on interface "org.ayatana.bamf.view" doesn't exist

Any idea's what's wrong, and how to fix it?

Seems to occur only when using Unity2D...

I recommend reporting this as a bug. If you choose to do that, then please make sure to read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs carefully first, and also to search to see if a similar bug has already been reported. Then, the best way to report the bug would be to produce the problem (so you are sure it is happening with the current instance of unity-2d) and then invoke ubuntu-bug with the PID of the currently running unity-2d-launcher process. (That will make sense after you've read ReportingBugs.)

Your bug report (should you choose to file one) should be complete and self-contained; it should not be necessary for Ubuntu developers to refer to this question to fully understand and appreciate the problem. However, you should nonetheless link this question and your bug together, using the "Link existing bug" link in this question page.
