My question is virtually the same as this one, which is left unanswered. By the way I disagree with the close vote as too localized because hey! I'm a future visitor and I found it useful :)
But I digress. I run Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, kernel version 3.2.0-53-generic
. I got rid of Unity (apart from the login screen) and installed GNOME 3, currently on version 3.4.2.1
.
I also have the Advanced Calculator and Firefox Bookmarks extensions, they are gone too. The Windows
and Applications
tabs still work, as does the multiple desktops thing.
Purging and reinstalling gnome-shell
did not solve the problem.
To clarify: When I say the search box doesn't work, I mean I type something in it and I see no search results.
In the picture above, Firefox should have appeared, but it didn't. The same is true for the Advanced Calculator and the Firefox Bookmarks plugins which leads me to believe there's something wrong with core Gnome shell, and not the plugins themselves.
Question: Do you know what might be causing this, and, do you have any suggestion on how to fix it?
/usr/share/applications/
has some files and the output ofdebsums -s
. I would also list the extensions that you installed./usr/share/applications
and the extensions would make for a rather lengthy post. Any suggestions on what should I be looking for? Still runningdebsums
by the way, apparently it takes some time.
