Built-in calculator to GNOME search window












5














Using Ubuntu 18.04.



On prior versions of Ubuntu GNOME, I could type basic expressions into the gnome search bar and get the answer. Ever since I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 however, I cannot; it shows no results.



No results



I've already found this answer but GNOME Calculator is already installed on my machine and still no luck. Any ideas?

          The pre-installed GNOME Calculator in Ubuntu 18.04 is a snap application which may lack some features provided by the traditional one due to restrictions of snap packages.



          Remove the snap application by running



          snap remove gnome-calculator


          and install the traditional apt one by running



          sudo apt install gnome-calculator


          You may need to to restart GNOME shell by hitting Alt+F2, then typing r and pressing Enter for it to take effect.
