I've installed Ubuntu 14.04. I'm disappointed to see synapse gone from Ubuntu Software Centre. I've added repository available in Launchpad. It resulted in error 404.  How can I install synapse?

I really like that synapse application launcher, but there seems to be no way of installing it in ubuntu 14.04. Any ideas why? Or does anyone know how I could get it?

I'm having trouble installing Skype. I have Canonical Partners enabled in Synaptic Package Manager, but skype is not showing in the search. If I try to install via:  sudo apt install skype   I get:   E: Unable to locate package skype   I went to the Skype web site and it offered a .deb file only in 64 bit.

How to install  on Ubuntu?   Is there a way to use apt-get install?   I only have command line access to my server. How do I install Anaconda on Ubuntu 14.04 from the command line?

I have just installed Ubuntu 16.04 32-bit.   When I opened its software store, I found that it's not showing the apps I installed in Ubuntu 15.10 like Clementine, Gdebi package installer or synaptic package manager, dconf, acetoneiso etc.   I need these applications. How can I install them?

Was asked by a new Ubuntu user - who also wants to learn about programming - what he could use to run BASIC code. He was working through a BASIC book before trying out Ubuntu, and he'd like to continue without having to switch back to Windows.  It looks like there are a few BASIC packages in the standard repositories, as well as projects like Mono which may include some kind of BASIC support.   What would be a good recommendation from the standard repositories - or from a deb package - for someone learning the basics of BASIC and new to Ubuntu?

After a fresh installation of ubuntu 14.04 (my previous installation has seen to be broken somewhere reading .wmv file with VLC), I've installed Samba GUI tool from the software center.  It briefly appears in the launchpad then disappears. From this time I cannot the see in in the dash.  I've found this in askUbuntu   but the command sudo apt-get install samba samba-common gives me nothing to install.  Lecture des listes de paquets...

I am currently using Ubuntu 14.10. Steam is showing up in the Ubuntu Software Center, but when I click on it it says:      Not found   There isn't a software package called "steam" in your current software sources.         Is there a fix for this? Am I the only one having this problem?

I am trying to install opera browser from the terminal.  I downloaded the 'debian' installer because it didn't show up in software center.  It completely destroyed my software center - it is frozen and I have no idea how to fix (I have a different thread for that though).  Can I use this thing called synaptic package manager to install Opera?  or am I stuck with Firefox?    How do I install Opera Browser?

If i click on Ubuntu Software, it doesn't open. I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04. I tried try to upgrade all packages, but it doesn't fix this problem.  If I try to run killall software-center there is no process with this name, and software-center returns command not found. If I try to reinstall it with apt I have these results:  $ sudo apt-get --purge --reinstall install software-center Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Package oracle-java8-installer is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'software-center' has no installation candidate

I removed software center from the terminal and after that I tried to install it from synaptic package manager.  Now I get a message saying that it's unable to retrieve a few packages.  Have a look:  W: Failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kdepimlibs/libkmime4_4.7.1+git111001-0ubuntu1_i386.deb   404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.170 80] W: Failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/k/kdepimlibs/libkimap4_4.7.1+git111001-0ubuntu1_i386.deb   404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.170 80]   W: Failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/akonadi/akonadi-server_1.6.1+git110927-0ubuntu1_i386.deb 404  Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.170 80]   ...

Please help me.

I searched around, and currently there are two methods suggested; installing an enhancement for Windows Subsystem for Linux and installing an XServer.  I want to know which method is the most hassle-free (easy to install AND to use), and which one is less memory-heavy.  I just want Synaptic and CMake. Why couldn't that be a builtin feature?

Just installed the UBUNTU 16.04 LTS. I just noticed that the software center is not working. I did installed the older version of it (sudo apt-get install software-center) but I want the new software center.  How can I install the new version of the software center?

I've been going through docs for the past couple of hours but I haven't understood what the PPA is? I have a cross-platform Java application that I'd like to publish to the Ubuntu Software Center. My application is open-source and I'm using Github.   Apparently, publishing applications to the store isn't as simple as uploading a deb package - am I right? I need to create an account on Launchpad and put all my code there.  I don't intend to move from Git to Bzr merely for the sake of publishing to the app store but luckily, one is able to set up source-code mirroring from Github to Launchpad.  Since my application is still very premature, it'll have updates fairly often. When I build my application on my machine, do I simply go my Ubuntu App Developer page and upload the new DEB package or do they build my application from source?  What exactly is the PPA for? I don't think I'll need too many of the Launchpad features so I'd like to stick to Github if possible.
