Public bug reported: It lives it's own life. VERY confising for a newcomer - especially for mac/windows user. This is unacceptable. This is the first and main app that newcomers deal with. For example I have recently installed VLC player via Ubuntu Software. Than I closed Ubuntu Software. I was using VLC for whole day, but when I open Ubuntu Software, it still suggests me to Install it. And this problem is not just in 16.04. I have tried Ubuntu few years ago and this problem pissed me off.
THE OTHER CASE...... Install something. Ubuntu Software shows remove/launch buttons, but only for a second! And than it hides remove/launch and shows Install again. And only after reboot it understands finally that application is already installed. SAME PROBLEM WITH UPDATES!!!!!!!!!! Sometimes when I open Updates tab I see many available updates, than Ubuntu Software starts convulsing like epileptic. It shows empty updates list, than many updates again, than no updates - no comments. This is SHAME. ** Affects: software-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "As you can see on this scrshot VLC is already installed, but Ubuntu Software still shows "Install" button" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1687010/+attachment/4869170/+files/Screenshot%20from%202017-04-28%2011-56-35.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1687010 Title: Ubuntu Software 3.20.1 shows "install" button instead of "remove"/"launch" for recently instaled apps Status in software-center package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: It lives it's own life.
