Hi David H.
So, a few things which I will address in separate comments for clarity.
First, your scope-registry.log contains a unity::scopes::MiddlewareException
[2016-11-02 17:04:35.351] ERROR: com.canonical.scopes.dashboard_dashboard: ReplyImpl::error(): unity::scopes::MiddlewareException: Cannot invoke operations while middleware is stopped
Whenever I have seen this, it is a Game Over situation usually requiring a reboot.
I am not sure what causes this, but it is part of the unity-scopes-api. I suspect it is a bug there. so I will add unity-scopes-api package here.
