Dash search gives no result

I've Ubuntu 12.10.1 LTS x62 fresh of installation... My dash is empty, search doesn't work and applications list is empty.

If I run the Ubuntu Software Center it freeze in a blank screen.

I tried with:

  • restart
  • reinstall of unity packages
  • deleting ~/.local/share/zeitgeist folder
  • other tricks found in the other askubuntu answers

UPDATE:

From ~/.xsession-errors

I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/home/francesco/.compiz/session/10699c9c27649d05db134910329935534100000027470033"
Initializing session options...done

(compiz:2813): GConf-CRITICAL **: gconf_client_add_dir: assertion `gconf_valid_key (dirname, NULL)' failed

** (zeitgeist-datahub:3070): WARNING **: zeitgeist-datahub.vala:227: Unable to get name "org.gnome.zeitgeist.datahub" on the bus!

EDIT:

Deleting .cache folder solves the Ubuntu Software Center blank screen issue, thanks to jokerdino!!

Try this: 

sudo apt-get install unity-lens-applications unity-lens-files unity-lens-music unity-lens-video

If not, use: 

zeitgeist-daemon --replace

  • On Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS, zeitgeist-daemon --replace gave me this error: [14:40:07.168071 WARNING] zeitgeist-daemon.vala:546: Não foi possível iniciar automaticamente o D-Bus sem X11 $DISPLAY, but the sudo apt install unity-lens-applications unity-lens-files unity-lens-music unity-lens-video solved the problem. Thank you! – BsAxUbx5KoQDEpCAqSffwGy554PSah Mar 17 '23 at 14:48
  • It would be nice to not need to reboot after your solution. I created a new question in order to discover how to refresh Dash after these packages you suggested have been installed: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1459749/empty-dash-fixing-how-to-not-reboot – BsAxUbx5KoQDEpCAqSffwGy554PSah Mar 17 '23 at 15:10
