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? On Jun 25, 2016 7:05 AM, "Richard Owlett" wrote: On 6/24/2016 5:14 PM, wes

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

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
