I've recently noticed an issue with Ubuntu Software Center which I have tried to resolve following the answers provided in this similar question without result and this answer in particular which partially worked but didn't persist.


The Issue


After installing 20.04 I opened Ubuntu Software Center and installed a number of apps without any problem - one of which was Stacer which I will use as an example.


enter image description here


In Show Applications the app is clearly present and right clicking on the icon selecting Show Details provides the image above and it works perfectly well.


However, if I open Ubuntu Software Center and type in the search bar stacer it reports that no application is found:


enter image description here


Nor is it listed when selecting the Installed tab.


This is the setup for for Software and Updates.


enter image description here


There are other applications I have previously installed which are also now reported as No Application found such as gLabels, gscan2pdf and others.


Has something changed since I initially installed 20.04.1 and more importantly, how can I restore good order to the Ubuntu Software Center?

It boils down to an issue between the apt and snap versions of Ubuntu Software.


This answer from an earlier question helped to provide a solution.


What I did


In terminal:


snap remove snap-store  

sudo apt-get install gnome-software

followed by


sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-snap

That installed Software enter image description here as opposed to the large yellow icon previously associated with Ubuntu Software after which the "missing" packages were then correctly listed.


There are solutions to restore the old icon if I wish (not essential) and to reinstall snap-store which can apparently co-exist with the apt version
