Tips on Ubuntu Ubuntu / Linux Blog
Ubuntu Software in Ubuntu 20.04 is actually Snap Store. At the moment, you can not search for and install any application other than Snap packages via the utility.
A workaround is to install back the old Gnome Software, which is the default in previous Ubuntu releases and has exactly same user interface.
1. Open terminal either by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T on keyboard or by searching for ‘terminal’ from application menu.
2. When terminal opens, run command to install Gnome Software:
sudo apt install gnome-software
3. Once installed, refresh system package cache either via Software Updater or by running command:
sudo apt update
4. Finally launch Gnome Software from application menu and enjoy!
It seems to have been fixed in the final release. I can download from the repositories through Ubuntu Software.
I’m using the latest release on a dual booted Windows 10 system and seeing NO images when I click on topics such as productivity or Games. Please help
Thanks a lot – appreciate your easy solution.

Yes this fixed it i did it when my steam application gave an error no internet connection . i just uninstalled steam . opened terminal ‘sudo apt install gnome-software’ and installed steam from “SOFTWARE” application instead of “UBUNTU SOFTWARE”
bhoom it fixed the issue
still no application found on 20.10
Didn’t work for me. I see NOTHING when I click on ‘Productivity’ in the Ubuntu software app. I’m a new user and this is supposed to be easy, right? I’m thinking of deleting Ubuntu now. I followed steps above and no go. please help. thx
