I have updated to 22.04 on my desktop only to find that dock will not show in Desktop. It appears when hit the Activity button and it appears on the bottom....despite having set it as left hand side in Settings/appearance....I had Latte Dock installed before but have removed it. What am I missing?

From a terminal:

gnome-extensions enable ubuntu-dock@ubuntu.com

    This is quite a terse answer, can you expand a little? – andrew.46 Apr 24 '22 at 09:54

    Check out installing Latte Dock. That is where I got it from. https://itsfoss.com/install-use-latte-dock-ubuntu/ – dunbrokin Apr 25 '22 at 10:38
  • To clarify: The command above has nothing to do with Latte Dock. It re-enables the usual ubuntu dock if it was disabled. The article on Latte Dock simply happens to contain that command. – vlz May 04 '22 at 21:08
  • I have the same problem with gnome-desktop, after I played around with a different desktop trying to fix yet another problem. To see the launch dock I have to first press "Activities". However, the above solution does not work for me. – Norbert S Aug 13 '22 at 00:57

    I had Dash to Dock installed in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Removed it from Gnome Extensions after the upgrade and then ran the command above. Fixed the issue for me. – Abhijeet Singh Aug 23 '22 at 00:55

From a terminal update the apt packages with:

sudo apt update

install the ubuntu-dock extension

sudo apt install -y gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock

activate the ubuntu-dock extension

gnome-extensions enable ubuntu-dock@ubuntu.com
