Okay, so here's the gist of what happened: I was annoyed with Unity showing my recent documents when I went to the "Files and Folders" thing on it, so I did a quick Google search to figure out how to disable it. I found this page (http://linux.aldeby.org/ubuntu-natty-11-04-unity-clear-recent-documents.html) with instructions on how to do so. I ran this code:
rm ~/.local/share/zeitgeist/activity.sqlite
zeitgeist-daemon --replace and
sudo apt-get remove zeitgeist
However, upon restarting my computer, my Unity launcher is now missing the icons to view files and folders and to view all applications. In addition, when I click on the Ubuntu symbol in the corner, I'm presented with the screen offering choices of media apps, internet apps, more apps, and to find files. However, clicking on any of these does nothing.
I have resinstalled zeitgeist and run unity --reset in attempt to fix the issue, but to no avail. I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here! I really don't want to have to run all my applications through the terminal!
