Dash search gives no result

I am using 12.04 in EeePC netbook. I keep on receiving a software update and installed it.

This evening, as I try to open the Dash Home and search for the installed application such as Skype, calculator, Microsoft wWord, etc., nothing appears, everything is gone. Only the files and folders in my Home remains. I also tried to open the Ubuntu Software Center but it buffer.

I don't have any idea how to fix this. Please help me restore all the installed applications.

  • the terminal window didn't exit and when I try to close it this response appeared: There is still a process running in this terminal. Closing the terminal will kill it..what should be the next thing to do?...please do help!...:) – Mae Aug 29 '12 at 11:56
  • you did something to disable the dbus services that listen for unity lenses...that's what the error messages are expressing. – RobotHumans Sep 21 '12 at 09:20
