I have had trouble with sound (now fixed) since upgrading to 19.10, and in the middle of trying the common solutions, the Software Center "disappeared". I got aware of quite late, so I don't know what caused it.  Anyway, would you know how to reinstall it ? Trying sudo apt-get install software-center doesn't work.

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?

Only openjdk-11-jdk and newer seem to be available. Is there any way to install the OpenJDK 8? Preferably without adding a PPA.

I just installed Oracle's Java version 7u7 on my Mac (running OSX Mountain Lion). However, when I run java -version it still displays the old version (6u29).    How do I fix this? Do I even need to fix this? What version will browsers (Firefox) use in this case? And what version will be used when I run Java applications directly?  I've seen  but this doesn't work in my situation (probably because this question is about the JRE and the other question about the JDK). In my case the Java Preferences app only displays Java 6 versions (32 bit and 64 bit).    Update:   which java points to /usr/bin/java /usr/bin/java is a symlink to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/ only contains the folder A (awesome version name) - which Current points to.

Is there an IDE which can run on Ubuntu that supports C, C++ and Java? I installed , but it only supported Java. I installed the C/C++ package manually, but that package gives an error if I include iostream.   Is there any other IDE which can satisfy my needs? Or can I get NetBeans with all packages pre-installed in it?

I'm in the process of pushing some updates to some code I originally wrote 12-18 months ago, and the API Version is between 27.0 and 29.0  I know this is to protect the integrity of the test classes you've built (in case they have changed some things) but is there a best practice around either leaving these alone or trying to keep them up-to-date (maybe just once a year instead of at each release)?

There seems like a lot of fixes and also network tests in 2.7 that I would like to take advantage of.  I see the Snap install for 2.7 but I'm trying to understand the upgrade path.  I don't want to destroy the existing db in MaaS 2.6.2 with all of the machines.    Do you do a snap install... and maas init and just don't reinitialize the db?    Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

System utilities such as ls don't need to have the full path typed before executing them. However, to execute Netbeans, I have to type /home/chris/netbeans-7.0.1/bin/netbeans. How can I make it so that I only have to type netbeans?
