Software center not working on kali linux?

[Thiviyan]

software center on Kali 2020.2 not showing any results when i search for anything and i have this working on an old version of Kali. now i couldn't find the python file that i am supposed to edit.
this is how i fixed the problem earlier. now i cant find the folder or files of this!!!!


gedit /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/distro/__init__.py
Go to line 159
Change lsb_info["ID"] to "Debian"
Before: distro_id = lsb_info["ID"]
After: distro_id = "Debian"
Type in terminal: update-software-center
Should work now.

anyone have a solution for empty results on Kali software center?
i am using GNOME i forgot to mention..

Hi,

I registered just to confirm I have the same problem the last two years and haven't found a solution anywhere.
(I asked this too but no soul answered anything: https://superuser.com/questions/1539665/kali-software-center-no-application-data-found )

Except from this thread, every other thread/solution on the internet is from 2015.
Could someone from Kali-staff answer please?

Thank you in advance.
