Suddenly I can't move icons around my unity launcher and the Dash won't search for my local files and folders. Was working when I first installed 13.10, but now it won't search for local files, and it won't let me rearrange the icons in any way.
I've tried turning on and off all the scopes (lenses?) in multiple combinations, but it won't find any files unless I use nautilus to find them its mostly unresponsive. I can't see my recently used files, or files and folders scope at all.
Dragging and dropping the icons on the side dock doesn't work, they only stick to my mouse until I put them back where they were. I cannot unlock any icons from the launcher, it just doesn't do anything when I click it.
I tried rebooting both of my computers and its still won't function normally.
I used ubuntu-bug -w to report a bug, no one has gotten back to me.
Is there some option that I changed to cause this?
This is a problem on both my laptop and Desktop.
Please Help,
Alex
