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

Re: [PLUG] Gnome-Software, apt

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: [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. -wes On Fri, Jun 24, 2016 at 12:28 PM, Denis Heidtmann wrote: > In ubuntu
