I recently upgraded to 16.10 and found most things that worked in 15.10 are working in 16.10 - - with one notable exception: gnome-schedule.  Many of the suite of gnome utilities are in 16.10 but not gnome-schedule.  Downloaded the source code for gnome-schedule v 2.3 and it says it needs autoconf v 1.7 - - 16.10 says that v 1.5 is the latest.  errrrr!  Any chance we can get gnome-schedule added to Ubuntu repositories anything soon?

I would like to install gnome-schedule in my recent Ubuntu 16.04 but I can't find the how. It is not in ubuntu software and if I type sudo apt-get install gnome-schedule, I get it's not found. I would like to use it because I find it quick and easy to use. I've been looking for alternatives but instead of "when" which I don't like, I can't find anything else, so help is welcome.

I have been using the default Ubuntu 11.10 with Unity for some time now and decided to start customizing it.  I have already been able to make some changes with the gnome-tweak-tool. However, there are many themes that I get from gnome-look.org that don't appear in the gnome-tweak-tool even after putting them in the /usr/share/themes folder.  Any idea why this is happening? Thanks.

GNOME Software (the default software center in Ubuntu 16.04, also called Ubuntu Software) is annoying! It keeps checking for updates and throws pop-ups in my face the whole day and thus mooches my net and also makes it very disturbing to use my machine. Is there any 100% safe means to remove it and install the classic Ubuntu Software Center (the default software center till Ubuntu 15.10)? Also, will the packages in the classic one be up to date?

Yesterday I upgraded my Ubuntu by SSH but before I finished it, I restarted my computer. I know that was not very smart. Anyway now I don't have internet connection, the WiFi or Ethernet is not recognized.  When I try on the latest version installed, the mice didn't work. When I try with previous version and go in gnome-network manager it's said:     The system network service is not compatible with this version   Another thing is when I comeback to the remote computer and look at the SSH terminal the process have stopped at:  Setting up desktop-file-utils (0.20-0ubuntu2) ...  Configuration file `/etc/gnome/defaults.list'  ==&gt; Modified (by you or by a script) since installation. ==&gt; Package distributor has shipped  an updated version. What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are: Y or I:install the package maintainer's  version N or O : keep your currently-installed version D :  show the differences between the versions Z : start a shell  to examine the situation The default action is to keep your  current version. * defaults.list (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?  Write failed: Broken pipe   Is there any simple solution other than I having to reinstall my system?

Now, that Ubuntu 17.10 is out, and Unity 7 is replaced with Gnome 3, is there a way to install and use Unity7?   I know Unity is still in the repositories, so it should be possible, right?

I have just upgraded to 20.04 without any issues, however, Gnome is painfully slow 2second delay with every action, apps take an age to open, terminal takes 2 sec to scroll through the history one item at a time. Anyone else seen this and have any answers?

I have been trying to upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 but when I try   do-release-upgrade -c   I get this output  Checking for a new Ubuntu release No new release found.   I have checked the release date to be 26th April but still, I didn't get any update...   I am a little new to Linux, so pardon me if I am mistaken on any point.

For several days now, the day of the week has not been displayed on the time sub-menu, as shown in the screenshot. I use Ubuntu 20.04 with Gnome.  How can I fix this?

If there is a new release/major update of a program (e.g. Rhythmbox 2.97, Skype 4.0 or Gimp 2.8), is there an easy way to tell whether and when they will make it to the current official Ubuntu release repositories (especially to the LTS release, e.g. Ubuntu 12.04)? Or whether it will never be added to the official repositories, so I don't need to wait and just install it through an added PPA/repository?    I would like to use the program updates, but preferably when they are well tested and adjusted to the Ubuntu release I use (easily updated by the update manager). But some programs seem to never be added/updated and as I want to stick to the LTS release, I would need to add another repository. I know that there are restrictions to what will be updated (, ). But for example Firefox and Thunderbird are now regularly updated and Gimp 2.8 might be available in the backports. There is list of , but I don't find Firefox, Thunderbird (or Gimp) on it, although they are updated.  I just want to know how to find out whether there is an easy way to know (e.g. one webpage) which programs will be added/updated in the official Ubuntu repositories. Or do we have to ask a question on Askubuntu for every single program?

During a Gnome session I received an upgrade notification from Software Update so I switched to a tty (I never run 'dnf upgrade' inside an X session) to run the update but 'dnf upgrade' shows that no updates are available. The Software Update gui clearly shows a higher version for the new packages but a 'dnf list updates' does not display them.  Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Is the gui tool using different repositories?

This doubt is hitting me since 2-3 days, so I decided to test it myself. What I did is I installed Ubuntu 16.04.4 in VMWare and edited /etc/apt/sources.list and replaced xenial with bionic using:  sudo sed -i 's/xenial/bionic/g' /etc/apt/sources.list   Then I ran  sudo apt-get update &amp;&amp; sudo apt-get upgrade    I was able to upgrade to 18.04, confirmed by using lsb_release -a. However, I encountered some problems like:   apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts. unmet dependency of  python3-aptdaemon.pkcompat Release 'bionic-backports' for 'appstream' not found Broken Unity   I solved all the errors and installed gnome and gdm3.   So, I just want to know is it a good idea to edit sources.list? I know that my system might broke but is there any other specific reason not to use this.  Note: I tested this on Ubuntu 16.04 in VMWare to clear my doubts only.

Today I saw an article about extensions for GNOME Shell, so it got me thinking a couple of questions that may apply to many users in Unity:   Will the GNOME Shell extensions be compatible with Unity? Can I install them directly to Unity from the  website? In case 2 is NO, is there a similar idea for Unity in the works?

I am not looking for a workaround or a hack.  I am just confused.  14.04.1 has been released now for a week, and one of my machines which is on 12.04, and another one which is on 14.04 both don't have the upgrade options.  I see there is a 14.04.5 release on august 7th but I am not sure what a candence event is.    It is hard to believe that it is not an issue that is going to be resolved otherwise I would hope this would be posted on the Ubuntu blog.  I cant be the only one on the last LTS waiting for it to update so I can finally go to the latest kernel and properly use my core i7 graphics.

After plain installation of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS gnome-software doesn't work. It has opened once with GUI, but installation of Unity Tweak Tool didn't finish.  When starting again, GUI doesn't come up. When opening from terminal, a warning appears, but the application GUI doesn't open.  $ gnome-software (gnome-software:7052): Gs-WARNING: failed to open plugin /usr/lib/gs-plugins-9/libgs_plugin_xdg_app_reviews.so: /usr/lib/gs-plugins-9/libgs_plugin_xdg_app_reviews.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory   Does anybody have same experience, and eventually, a solution?    According to the recommendation:  $ dpkg-query -S /usr/lib/gs-plugins-9/libgs_plugin_xdg_app_reviews.so gnome-software: /usr/lib/gs-plugins-9/libgs_plugin_xdg_app_reviews.so   Proposed reinstall of gnome-software did not help.    As workaround, use Synaptic Package manager and command line.

After upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04, I tried to use the new software center that came along with it, but I found it to have a few issues. One, it didn't detect all the applications I had previously installed and two, whenever I tried installing new software with it, a new icon on the launcher (saying "Waiting to Install") appears, but no progress is made and the icon is stuck on the launcher.   However, I don't encounter any of these issues in the older Software Center. Does anybody know why this may be?
