Some lenses not working in 12.04

  • 772

I have just started experimenting with extra lens in Unity. I installed some that I found listed in an AskUbuntu question. Some of them don't seem to work.

The "Cooking" lens is supposed to show recipes, but I just get a blank result - nothing is found.

I have another lens which I assume is the youtube lens I installed, that sits and searches forever when I switch to it, and even type a search into it.

  1. Lenses available in software centre should be working OK. All other lenses are probably private efforts and you should talk to the author if they are not working in current releases. Because much is still changing in Unity there have been a few problems.

    Here's the cooking lens project Launchpad page.

    Here's the Launchpad bug report for the cooking lens problem you are experiencing.

    Best solution I found was to upgrade to 12.10. A bit drastic, I know, but they all work fine now.
