unity - Launcher icons disappeared, how to get back



I am using Ubuntu 16.04. Shortly after I installed, the launcher disappeared. It seems to be behind the desktop. After seeing the advice to press alt&F2 together then type reset icons I did that and got status on, status pending. I still have no launcher icons. I don't know how to reduce the size of the desktop to see if the icons are indeed behind the desktop.




How can I get my launcher icons back?



If you can access to a terminal window give this command:



dconf reset -f /org/compiz/


and after give this other one:




setsid unity


The first command resets the configuration to the defaults, and the second reloads unity.
