Description Nataniel 2018-08-02 17:33:55 UTC

I've used latte dock for months without any problem. As of yesterday it stopped showing even though the process is running. I've tried reinstalling it several times

´sudo apt purge latte-dock´

´sudo apt install latte-dock´

But the problem remained. 

Any idea why and how I can address this issue?

if you are using v0.7.x then probably the layout broke somehow, in order to start from scratch you can close Latte and remove the latte layout files at ~/.config/latte

if you are using v0.8.x then you can load the default layout from command prompt by executing:
    latte-dock --default-layout

THanks Michail Vourlakos, that was indeed the problem. 

´~/.config$ sudo rm -rv ~/.config/latte/ lattedockrc´

did the trick ;)
