Comment 16 for bug 872219

To Mikkel:

In my case the lens 'unity-applications-daemon' is not running and the command '/usr/lib/unity-lens-applications/unity-applications-daemon' yielded no output whatsoever. Nothing. It just hangs there waiting for the prompt to return. Is there a log file i could look in to?
In another terminal i can confirm that it is running though and it does not use much processor power. It does use 168m of virtual memory which i think is a lot for such a simple task.

I've done a clean install on my system (after a full crash of 11.04->11.10 upgrade, it slowly spiralled out of control so that is something else for canonical to look into)

The i've installed these PPA's to be able to run specific software packages:
http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu
http://ppa.launchpad.net/stebbins/handbrake-snapshots/ubuntu (the releases one has no oneric release yet)
http://ppa.launchpad.net/ferramroberto/java/ubuntu
http://linux.dropbox.com/ubuntu
http://www.scootersoftware.com/
http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/gnome3/ubuntu

I have no other unity components installed nor any custom lenses

I do have installed the nvidia drivers version 285 manually, but that was the first thing i did and the application lens worked fine in the first few days after installation. Further changes related to the gui i've made are the wobbly windows and a curved desktop overview (as opposed to the simple flat one) i used ccsm for this.
