Where is search on Ubuntu Software Center?

448

Solution 1

Gary Lasker from Canoical contacted me through launchpad. He asked me to run Ubuntu Software Center from a terminal using the command line.

⋯$ software-center

I did that and the search box is back. There were no updates in the interim so it possibly was a one time thing (so far).

Thanks to Gary for getting back to me quickly!

Solution 2

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

The Search textbox is hidden by default, it is automatically displayed when typing.

Solution 3

Maybe this answer is just silly, but it is not just the case that the window is not big enough to show the Search textbox? If i resize my window to that size, the Search disappears because there's no space to it be shown.

    I wrote a stored procedure for getting the count from a column but when I execute the procedure its returning a date value. While separate query execution returns the required result set.

    ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[USP_ViewAdminDashBoard](@LoginUser varchar(75)) 
    AS 
    BEGIN 
    
        DECLARE @LastLoginDate  as DateTime 
    
        Select  @LastLoginDate = dbo.UDF_GetLastLoginByUser(@LoginUser);
    
        Select  'Last Login Date', @LastLoginDate 
        Union
        Select  'No. Active Business Associates' as Title, COUNT(isActive) Total 
        from    (select 1)d(isActive)
        where   isActive = 1 
      Union Select 'New Registration Today' as Title, COUNT(1) Total from dbo.TBL_iREGFORM     where isActive = 1 And GETDATE()>= RegDate
     Union Select 'Registration Pending for Verification' as Title, COUNT(1) Total from dbo.TBL_iREGFORM where isActive = 1 and isVerified = 1
    END

    That is not the case on my 11.10 system. There is a limit to how narrow we can make the window and it still has the search panel.

    I didn't change it from it's default size when it opened, pretty much filled the small laptop screen.

    There isn't much anyone will be able to tell you without being able to see the query.

    yep, the date value you are seeing is your integer from the count cast as a date. (int)0 = (datetime)1900-01-00

    @Cams this is a usability failure on Ubuntu's side. Don't feel stupid.

    You're right. Search bar appears as I start typing.
