Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: software-center
I am testing Ubuntu 9.10 RC as installed by Wubi.exe on a Windows XP
partition on an Asus A2H (A2500H) laptop that also contains a partion
for Ubunu 9.04.
In using the new Ubuntu Software Center, I am dismayed that the display
fails to include options to merely list software that is appropriate for
an Ubuntu (Gnome) system, Kubuntu (KDE) system, Xubuntu (Xcfe), Lubuntu
(Lxfe), etc. Since I am currently running an Ubuntu (Gnome) system, I
TRY to avoid choosing software that uses KDE, Xcfe, Lxfe libraries in an
effort to keep the size of my system down (there may be other reasons as
well). Note that some software such as Firefox doesn't use any of these
libraries and thus are appropriate under every option.
I recognize that critics will classify this problem as a missing
'feature'. But note that the Add/Remove Software in previous releases of
Ubuntu/Kubuntu always had an option to show just Gnome based software or
just KDE based software. But that display failed to provide options for
XCFE and the new LXFE. Furthermore when using those options, that
display failed to show software like Firefox that is appropriate for any
GUI.
While I am at it, why is Ubuntu Software Center listed at the bottom of
the Applications menu and doesn't ask for my password before usage,
whereas Synaptic Package Manager is listed in the Administration submenu
of the System Menu and demands my password before entry?
