Hi Gary, Thanks for the help. I have followed the steps but unfortunately it did not solve the problem.
When I click on the "turn on recommendations" button, the button disappears, and a message about submitting data appears briefly, after that the button is not visible any more but there is also no "recommended applications" section. If I close USC and re-open, the "turn on recommendations" button is back. Could this be because of a corrupt or faulty "sources.list" file? After I upgraded to 12.04 from 11.10, I had a problem with the update manager when loading the package data from the repositories. It complained about "independent sources" or something similar. I googled around and the answer I found was to replace my sources.list file. I generated a new file from a utility on the web ( http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/).
