    can you open a terminal or is it just that the dock is gone? Search “Extension” in search and disable every extension.

    Also, tell us what is off from an ordinary install (for example, you can’t open apps or something)

      The gnome menu doesn’t work, literally just shows nothing, I have arcmenu (the knife looking thing) which I enabled through terminal with the command “gnome-extensions enable arcmenu@arcmenu.com” there’s also commands to disable dash-to-dock but disabling it just fucks it even more, I uninstalled it then I had to reinstall it to fuck it up less than it did. I’m going to install another thing, tbh I just needed an excuse to not be using Ubuntu anymore.

        I’ve had no issues with Dash to Dock, this looks more like an ArcMenu issue to me based on your screenshot.

        In the description for ArcMenu they say:

        Requires GMenu package:

        • Depending on your distro you may need to install ‘gir1.2-gmenu-3.0’, ‘gnome-menus’, or ‘libgnome-menu-3-0’

        Have you got that dependency covered?

        What other extensions do you have installed? What versions of Ubuntu and GNOME are you using?

        oh man idk where to begin tbh

        Maybe deleting the dotfiles (holds configuration data) would help return the DE to a default state?

        I probably would just reinstall, though. I’m not confident enough to mess around with dotfiles
