No Application Icons in Dock after Upgrading to 22.04.1 LTS

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1544 / 2 Years ago, fri, april 15, 2022, 3:58:13

After I upgraded from 20.04 to 22.04.1 I don't see any icons in Ubuntu's dock. There is only the 9-dot-icon, which opens the applications overview. Even if I try to add an application manually ("add to favourites") the dock stays empty.

What could be the reason? And how can I fix it?

This is how the dock appears at the moment:

edit: I noticed, that the dock icons are present, when I log in with "Gnome" or "Gnome with Xorg", but not with one of the "Ubuntu" options.

Disabling the "Ubuntu Dock" and "Ubuntu AppIndicators" built-in extensions should fix this.

Simply open your applications overview (or "Windows" key) and type "Extensions". Then at the bottom of the window, just disable the Ubuntu Dock and Ubuntu AppIndicators.

A short term solution on a per-occurrence basis is running a command to reload the dock. Press Alt+F2 and then type r then press Return. This will reload and bring the icons back.
