How to restore online searches in unity after running commands in fixubuntu

  • 772

I run commands in fixubuntu.com to get rid of online searches but now I would like them back but can't find a way to reactivate them. I tried reinstalling unity-scope-home and unity-lense-applications but it didn't do it.

I also run command gsettings reset com.canonical.Unity.Lenses disabled-scopes and gsettings reset com.canonical.Unity.Lenses remote-content-search.

    Try to set 'all' instead of 'none', using gsettings set.

    Use gsettings get to show the current value :

    gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Lenses remote-content-search 'all'
gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Lenses remote-content-search

    So you can keep the disabled one sets by Fixubuntu script and get back remote content search feature.

  2. Reinstall:

    sudo apt-get install -y unity-lens-shopping

    Reset:

    gsettings reset com.canonical.Unity.Lenses disabled-scopes
gsettings reset com.canonical.Unity.Lenses remote-content-search none

    Remove this line from /etc/hosts:

    127.0.0.1 productsearch.ubuntu.com

    You can do that last bit by running this: sudo nano /etc/hosts, removing the line from the bottom of the file, and saving with Ctrl+O, then exiting with Ctrl+X.
    You may need to reboot for this to take effect.
