I am fairly new to Ubuntu Mate. I converted a Windows PC few days ago and I was really thrilled by U Mate until today.
After I install Dropbox (from the Welcome Screen) in the PC, my main user lost access to Applications (I can not see any application on the machine) and under System I can only Help, Lock Screen, About Ubuntu Mate and Logout.
I really do not understand this behaviour. If I log as a guest I can see all the applications and menus. What I did wrong? How I can revert changes and regain privileges on my main user? I already did remove Dropbox.
I could get to the Control Centre and then to Users and Groups through the Welcome Screen. I was able to change my user to Administrator but after a restart it still having the same privileges and I can not reach the applications. What does not make sense to me is that if I log as GUEST I can see all the settings, applications, etc.
I just created another account and this one does get full access . I can work with this user now but if there is a way to “unlock” the other I will appreciate your advice. If not then I will move all my files to the new account and move forward.
