Re: [PLUG] Gnome-Software, apt

I  haven't used a GUI package manager for a while , don't miss it.  Pacman,
apt-get, yum, aptitude all work just fine.  What was the ncurses Debian
one?  Aptitude with no arguments, or dselect, or?

Re: [PLUG] Gnome-Software, apt

Ubuntu  Software Center appears to be replaced with Gnome-Software.  I was
successful installing Synaptic using it, but it is now relegated to the
not-used pile.  I guess I should try to do some uninstalls, but I am
concerned it might take out some things that some still-used sw needs.

BTW, why is Gnome-software so limited (I would call it broken).?

Re: [PLUG] Gnome-Software, apt

[Denis Heidtmann]

Thanks everybody.  I now have synaptic, and Gnome-software is hidden. On my
desktop running 14.04 the equivalent of Gnome-software uses the same icon
as Gnome-software, but it works.  Why is it that Ubuntu seems to have the
philosophy "If it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is."?

A little bit of re-familiarizing myself with Synaptic is all it will take
for me to be comfortable with it.

It didn't make it into the curated Software Center?
Install Synaptic

Re: [PLUG] Gnome-Software, apt

On any new install, I use the "Ubuntu Software Center" to install Synaptic
as my first action. I don't know why Gnome-Software is so limited... well,
yes I do, I just don't agree with it.

[PLUG] Gnome-Software, apt

[Denis Heidtmann]

In ubuntu 16.04 the package manager GUI is Gnome-Software.  (You would not
know that just by looking at the name provided by hovering over the icon
nor by launching it and looking for a help/about menu-none exists.)

I search for stress in Gnome-Software and get nothing found.  Using
apt-cache search stress it is found.  I thought the GUI was a front-end for
apt.  I have searched for problems such as this and tried setting the
language to English to no avail.

Any ideas on what is going on?
