Unity Applications lens is empty

rated 0 times [ 10] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 4894 / 2 Years ago, sun, december 12, 2021, 6:55:58

I am using Unity on Ubuntu 12.04.
For some time now, the Applications lens is completely empty when I open it.
If I search for any applications from the Home or Applications lens, no results show up. I have tried killing and launching the Applications lens as suggested at Launchpad, but it did not work. How can I get the applications lens to work again?

In the terminal try

unity --reset

and reboot to see the changes.

As far as the mentioned bug is concerned ,it was affecting the unity-lens-applications-5.8.0-0ubuntu1 (precise) package and current version stands at unity-lens-applications (5.12.0-0ubuntu1) .

It also states that fix is released so please update your system , if already up-to-date than ignore this.
