Crippled Dash under Unity

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 993 / 1 Year ago, fri, december 23, 2022, 9:39:12

I freshly installed Ubuntu 12.04 from a minimal install using command

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop --no-install-recommends

I logged in only to find that the Dash is crippled.
When Dash opens, their are 4 icons in the bottom-middle of the screen like

Home

Applications

Recent

However my dash is only having One Icon of home. I installed google chrome with a .deb pachage, but still it is to be found nowhere under unity and dash. The only way i can start chrome is via terminal.

Your dash doesn't work because you specifically told it not to install recommended packages.

sudo apt-get install unity-lens-applications unity-lens-files unity-lens-music unity-lens-video unity-scope-musicstores unity-scope-video-remote

This should pull in the packages you need.
