1) Previous software managers, in Ubuntu, indicated the package-name upon viewing the details of software, and therefore it has become my go- to-GUI for discovering package-names.
2) Even when I use a GUI to install software, I like to take note of the official package name so that I can add that package-name to my notes, and so that I can later install *all my software* (on a fresh install) with one "sudo apt-get install" command (without having to relocate each software again via a Software Manager: gnome-software). 3) When I have an issue with a program, I report bugs using this command: ubuntu-bug packageName I like having a GUI for discovering the package name: If I installed it using the GUI, that's where I want to go back to in order to see the package name I installed via that GUI. I don't want to memorize a command for discovering which package I initially used gnome-software to install; the GUI that I searched from (originally -- when I installed the software) is the same GUI I want to search to discover what I originally installed. 4) The official package name is pertinent information to advance users (who may know commands, but prefer GUIs). 5) Including the package name doesn't take up much room; it does not clutter the interface for users who don't care about package names, while also providing pertinent information to advance user. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1568056 Title: Official Package-Names Not Shown in Gnome-Software To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1568056/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
