It was working fine, then I restarted and it kept crashing. Unity works fine though.

The issue is
"Settings schema 'org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock' does not contain a key named 'multi-monitor'"

Does it work if you delete ~/.local/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled?

[Jorrell (pizzicatowolf)]

Yes, I can now boot into the Gnome-Shell successfully after deleting that file. Thanks.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the issue was a local installation conflicting with the ubuntu version, not an ubuntu bug then
