Not sure if it's something I did/didn't do but when I click in the upper left corner to bring up the menu (with Media Apps, Internet Apps, More Apps & Find Files) clicking on any of those doesn't prompt a response, no error is given either. When I type in the top bar something such as Terminal it doesn't do anything (although I can still get to Terminal with ctrl+alt+t).

Any ideas?

clean install or upgrade ?
10.10 upgrades have not been going well.

It was a clean install. It was working fine for awhile but I'm not sure why they stopped working, or how to get the functions back.

You may want to ck. that you have the unity-place-applications and unity-place-files packages installed

That was it! Thanks.

Now that you've got them back a small warning
11.04 (unity login in particular) has a number of current memory leaks
One on them involves compiz and the use of the dash and places - the initial use of any of the various functions will cause a bit of a memory bump.

After that there'll be a per use increase, while fairly small, (1-2 MB per use), can add up after a while depending on usage and time online. Worth checking every once and a while
(there are other leaks that also can come into play

Thanks for the heads up!
