Put "Software Center" in Dash Home

http://askubuntu.com – I removed all the icons in the sidebar because I'd like it to act more like a taskbar than a program dock. However, I now find it annoying that I must type "Software Center" into the Dash search bar whenever I wish to open it. I thought it would be a good idea to put it right in the Dash home somewhere. Since I don't use Thunderbird, I thought to replace that icon with the Software Center. But as an Ubuntu Novice, I've got no idea on how to go about doing this. Additional info: My Dash home currently reads: Media Apps-Internet Apps-More Apps-Find Files Browse the Web-View Photos-Check Ema (HowTos)

Dash Home - No Content 1 year 9 weeks ago

I recently upgraded to 11.10, but now my Dash Home has no content. No search bar, no apps, not even an empty dash windowpane. Basically, I click on Dash Home, the launcher turns translucent, but nothing else happens.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

how do I get the dash home search box and ubuntu soft ware center to work?

I'm an absolute newby for Linux / Ubuntu. Yesterday I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on an old computer. It seemed to work fine. However today when I started the computer again the software center had disappeared!!

It wasn't in my starter list.

Hi, I use Ubuntu 12.04 with, I think it is called dash home. When I go to dash home, it shows me files and things I have recently used.

Recently, I asked my girlfriend, who is in Germany at the moment to send me, in China, a couple of photos of herself, just to refresh my memory.

Today in class, I went to dash home, and there they were.

In dash all applications including terminal do not show up. Software center does not load, just grays out and stops. OS will not read a USB drive to try reinstall of 12.04. Now what can I do to get terminal, dash and software center working?

I apologize if this is easily answered but I've been Googling for about an hour and can't find an answer. Is there a way for me to vertically center my dash favorites bar in Fedora 16 (Gnome)? I'm using the Dash to Dock user extension which always places the dash on the desktop but I don't like it's positioning (currently above vertical center).

I tried doing multiple things but nothing worked. I used ctrl-f2 to try and run terminal, but nothing happened. I went to the Dash to go to Add More Apps and nothing came up.

Is there anyway to find and use the terminal/fix the Software Center?

I posted a video to Youtube, and I think the youtube description and/or video (a short desktop recording with me speaking) pretty much sum it up.
