'Turn on Recommendations' in Software Centre has no Effect

[leo.sutton]

I open the ubuntu software centre, click 'Turn on Recommendations' at the bottom, the window freezes for a second, then returns having had no effect, subsequent clicks do not cause the freeze. 'Turn On Recommendations' from the global menu produces a warning about submitting a list of installed software, which I accept, and then again, no effect.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I confirm this on my Samsung netbook (N310). When USC is opened, the message "receiving recommendations" appears, but when the search is finished, the "recommended for you" frame disappears. The same happens for the categories that have subcategories like "games" or "graphics".
This is a recent problem, just started a few days ago, probably after the last USC upgrade.
Turning recommendations off and back on doesn't help.

I think this is now fixed, I haven't had the problem for a while. Can someone confirm?

Hello Stéphane, and thanks for reporting back on this bug. Indeed, this issue was a temporary condition that has since been fixed on the server side, and I can also confirm that turning on recommendations works just fine now. So, I will close this one.

Thanks very much for your help! Best regards,
Gary
