I am using Unity on Ubuntu 12.04.
For some time now, the Applications lens is completely empty when I open it.
If I search for any applications from the Home or Applications lens, no results show up. I have tried killing and launching the Applications lens as suggested at Launchpad, but it did not work. How can I get the applications lens to work again?
