Reset Unity desktop after messing with Compiz settings on 16.04

[expatver]

I have done a search here and what I have been able to find so far has been for pre 16.04 versions of Ubuntu.

Before messing about with compiz much more I wanted to verify if..... with Tweak Tool installed, the command

unity-tweak-tool --reset-unity

will work from CLI with a non functioning desktop i.e clear conflicting compiz things that break the desktop beyond functionality.........

Been there before with other Linuxes and trying to be armed beforehand.

Another method to reset the the configuration run this:


dconf reset -f /org/compiz/

Then, to reset unity run:


setsid unity

And you can reset Unity, wiping all changes to configuration using Unity Tweak Tool.


sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool
unity-tweak-tool --reset-unity

Many kind thanks for this! Excellent CLI help.

Now I will copy it to the tablet before proceeding further with Compiz fun.

As an aside, like the Dalai Lama quote very much. Agree completely.
