It looks like apps from the Universe repository are not showing in the new App Center in Ubuntu 24.04. Universe is selected in software sources and I'm searching in Debian packages.

For example: searching for Synaptic in App Store gives 'No results found'. Installing in the terminal with apt is working though.

Isn't App Center showing apps from Universe? Lots of other apps are missing when searching but can be installed with apt.

I've tried it on three machines with two fresh installs of Ubuntu 24.04 and one upgraded beta install.

Is this a bug in App Center?

The new app center in Ubuntu does not show any apps in the official APT repositories. It only shows snap apps.

If you want an app store for regular APT apps, install gnome-software with

sudo apt install gnome-software

Moreover, gnome-software also supports installation of snap and flatpak apps.

If you don't have universe enabled, you can enable it with

sudo add-apt-repository universe

With the update to Snap Store 0+git.ec3fa65 (latest/stable/ubuntu-24.04) in Ubuntu 24.04 the problem is solved! App Center now is showing Deb-files.
