How do I get the Ubuntu Software Center back?

[bamim2]

Something I did removed the Ubuntu Software Center from my menu & I believe it removed it from my system all together. How do I get that back?

[howefield]

Open Synaptic Package Manager, check if software-center is installed ?

Or first run this in terminal, if it is installed, it should open.


/usr/bin/software-center

OK. That launched the app, so it IS still there. THANK YOU!

Now, do I have to add it via the menu (which I can do since you've provided the full path)? or is there a way to actually bring it back so it shows up like it did with the correct icon & commenting etc?

Thank you.

rght click on the gnome panel and edit the menu you can add a new item there with this execution

/usr/bin/software-center

Try System > Preferences > Main Menu

In the right hand pane, at the bottom, you should be able to place a check against "Ubuntu Software Centre"

That should do it.

There's nothing there anymore. It used to be there under the separator, below Wine. Now there's nothing under the separator.

I can just add it with this tool though, right? Choose "New Item" on the right, then pick the icon & I should be good to go? (in theory)

Yep. Should do :)

Icon should be here, (if you have any trouble locating it)
