Ubuntu 11.10 unstable: dash lenses are missing icons

Asked by Jacobsallan

The Dash is supposed to have "lenses". They are labeled "Media Apps", "Internet Apps", and "More Apps". Using a lens restricts the list of programs available for selection. This used to work and does no longer. I think I ran Computer Janitor just before this happened.

Is there a way to restore this functionality?

Computer Janitor has been removed from my computer.

3. Restart and see the result.

Have you upgraded to the new Ubuntu 11.10? If yes the lenses now are in the dash.
