Yet, when using quick search in Synaptic and regular search, I only see installed packages. In a previous install, this problem went away after I installed some community-supported software. I have since done a new fresh install and again saw the problem. The sudo update-apt-xapian-index command fixed this issue for me, also. -- [Intrepid] Synaptic unusable - Can not find packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I had the same bug, and the sudo update-apt-xapian-index command fixed it. Fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 from live CD on an HP laptop running on an AMD Turion 64. I also want to point out that when scrolling down in the list in synaptic I -could- find packages from multiverse and other non-standard repositories; and also found them using the full search tool.

If it matters, I can confirm once more that sudo update-apt-xapian-index fixes the problem. Also I would like to join the opinion that it is a bud with high importance.

[Bug 288797] Re: [Intrepid] Synaptic unusable - Can not find packages
I had Ubuntu intrepid installed (from live cd) and the quick search and the search utilities in synaptics worked well. However I had some other issues with scratchy sound, keyboard and touchpad behaving abnormally (sometimes) so I decided to try installing a fresh copy of intrepid but using the alternate CD. It fixed my issues, for the most part, but it screwed up my quick search and search in synaptics. I used the work around you came up with and it solved the problem. But I find this whole thing rather strange. -- [Intrepid] Synaptic unusable - Can not find packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 288797] Re: [Intrepid] Synaptic unusable - Can not find packages
I've just made another test. I want to install CDemu, so I have added to synaptic: $ echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cdemu/ubuntu intrepid main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cdemu.list $ sudo apt-get update Everything is OK, in /etc/apt/sources.list.d there's a new file cdemu.list, and http://ppa.launchpad.net/cdemu/ubuntu intrepid main is marked in the Synaptic third party repositories. However, a quick search for cdemu can't find anything. The regular search works fine and finds 7 packages. With a new sudo update-apt-xapian-index both searchs work fine.

Hi! I'm a new Ubuntu user. I had the same problem with the quick search and the sudo update-apt-xapian-index fixed it, thanks guys. I've observed one thing that might help you to find the problem. When I start Synaptic, it shows all the packages, but when I write 2 or more letters in the Quick Search, it automatically show ONLY THE INSTALLED PACKAGES whit these two letters.

Thanks to Michael for the work-around but this issue is of far more than a medium importance. As an experienced user, I switched to apt the moment I realized Synaptic was broken. However, new Ubuntu users will likely find this very frustrating and won't be impressed with Ubuntu's quality - too bad since this is probably the best release yet. -- [Intrepid] Synaptic unusable - Can not find packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 288797] Re: [Intrepid] Synaptic unusable - Can not find packages
I'm running 8.10 RC x86-64 and I'm also having problems with synaptic search, both the new quicksearch and normal search. Both only work partially in that only a small proportion of the available packages that I search for are found. I've had many packages (such as videolan and dvd95) fail to be found under the latest synaptic but they install fine from command line. A broken synaptic in a Ubuntu RC - yikes! Whats happening guys? I can't help but feel the introduction of quick search is to blame for this bad ass flaw and I never had a problem with hitting CTRL+F to open a 'quicksearch' box anyway. -- [Intrepid] Synaptic unusable - Can not find packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/288797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Confirmed. Quick search fails to display results or the normal search, but when you search for nothing after it, the previous results are displayed. IE, search for liferea in quick search. You'll get no results.
