I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - The Lucid Lynx installed on my main desktop machine that uses the 2.0.7 version of the Software Centre. Is there a way to update this to the 3.0.8 version that is on my laptop running 10.10 Maverik Meerkat?
View 14 Repliesis there any way of selecting several programmes for installation at once in the software centre, like in earlier versions of Ubuntu? I have to install about 150 things, and one by one is time-consuming!

The advice is to add
[URL]
to the apt sources. (replacing cz as required for several other servers of choice). I tried this (using several different servers) from within Ubuntu Software Centre, but the usb_modeswitch never appeared. In fact (oddly) the source never appeared in the list! (Although I did have a look in the etc/apt/sources.list and it had added a line each time - there were several - I'd tried quite a few!!!) I did try downloading it but when it starts gdebi to install, a message pops up saying it is available (and better supported!) in a software channel.
I searched round a bit and found another reference to the package at
[URL]
This time the sources were totally different and the apt line recommended was
deb [URL]
When I add this it does add the line to the list of sources, but sadly I still cannot see usb_modeswitch after Software Centre has updated. In fact the number of packages available seems to go down from 2186 to 2179!
I suppose I could force the debian package to install, but I don't see why I can't get it to appear in Software Centre!
I should perhaps add that I have added other sources using the "apt sources" and that worked OK so I know I am doing the right thing.
I have been looking at the docs in the KDE help centre, but I prefer to store some reading on paper to refer to when away from the computer. So. I don't seem to be able to print from the KDE Help Center, since it's greyed out. Anyone know how to somehow get the docbook files out to my printer instead?

View 5 Replies View Relatedmy problem is simple: the software centre and firefox do not run when i try to launch them from any icon or with Alt+F2. The "Window List" app in the bottom panel shows "Starting Ubuntu Soft..." or "Starting Mozilla Firefox" but that just disappears again after a few seconds and thats it (no error message whatsoever). I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 (new install - no upgrade) and it runs without problems on my other computer.
Ps: I managed to get firefox running with 'gksudo firefox' but not the software centre (i am not so good with all the commands yet ) and i dont want to have to do that alle the time

Ubuntu Software Centre starts up but then seems to stall with a central circle icon whizzing around.either way, nothing else happens, i.e. it goes no further no matter how long I wait. I have logged out/back in and also restarted completely. No change.I have run synaptic package manager and reinstalled Ubuntu Software Centre. No change.

The problem is that the catalyst control centre does not show up anywhere on the menu bar (such as in system>administration etc.). From advice given on a seperate post (link), I can load up the control centre from typing in a command in terminal, but is there a way to put this in the menu bar?
my Computer Sci friend cannot even fix this, so here goes... I need some kind of mtp or gnomad2 to let my creative zen x-fi connect with my linux so I can listen to mp3s in peace. But, if I try to use software manager, nothing downloads. It simply says archive manager as reason for failed download. I've tried deleting and re-installing the software centre. I've tried downloading what I need online. But neither have done anything.

i know that tells me exactly what i need to to but if someone could be so kind to give me step by step instructions to get this fixed it im new to ubuntu and its my primary os so i really need this fixed.
I'm currently running 10.04. Great OS! However, the one small thing that annoys me is with the software centre, it doesn't tell you the size of the download. I know this probably doesn't bother people if you've got 50mb internet and unlimited downloads, however, I have 3.5mb, and a download limit!
Is there A) anyway I can get software centre to tell me the size of a download, and B) is this altered in later versions - due to my limit I don't want to download them to see - catch 22!
If I click on the ubuntu software centre icon the pointer shows the application is loading but then nothing happens

I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 several times recently and everytime I am asked for my password to install software via the Software Centre, the password field accepts my password and disappears, leaving the rest of the popup box open.

View 1 Replies View RelatedFor some time now I've put off installing Karmic as there seemed to be a bunch of complaints and issues right at the beginning (probably unfounded) and stuck to a nice and running 9.04.
Anyway over the weekend I had some problems. I won't go into them as it's along story and rather irrelevant now. The outcome was that I decided it was simpler to do a clean install so I backed up my files, downloaded and burnt a new Live CD for Karmic 9.10 and yesterday installed it. My first impressions are very good, I like it a lot!
The only thing I have a problem with is this. Under: Applications>Ubuntu Software Centre I seem unable to install or remove anything. By this I mean after selecting some application when I click on the Install or Remove button nothing happens apart from the slight flicker. Nothing...zilch! I can install using apt-get in terminal or using Synaptic just fine. My feeling is that its a "button" issue rather than with Software Centre...but who knows

if i try to install a new software using ubuntu software centre i get "canonical provides critical updates for mysql client." i press the right arrow and nothing happens!even when i try to install adobe flash player i get in the final step the same errors of synaptic package manager. so far i can't watch videos. what can i do to fix this problem?
One problem has led to another.. I had notebook version 9.10 and it worked OK. I Downloaded 10.04 onto USB and all seemed fine. After upgrade - disaster. I have as Asus Eee PC901.
1. I am in Italy and bought a TIM USB mobile broadband modem - Ubuntu can see the device but nothing happens except a bizzare message with no information at all 'Unable to Open Archive'. I have no idea what that meant nor what I should do to resolve whatever it is, so I went back to my older USB modem which worked under 9.10 - Now even that device does nothing.
2. as a result, Ubuntu software centre does not work, Synaptic Package manager is the same; also update manager.
3. Limited communications are available via the university wireless network. That network requires me to work through their own proxy;port address (with username and password) which I have set up using proxy manager including the username and password. This allows me to carry out web surfing and point to point downloads.
4. Firefox works fine, and it obeys the requirements for registering with the proxy. Thunderbird, evolution, Synaptic, Update manager, Software centre etc all fail because they failed to authenticate with the proxy. They all have been set up to use system proxy. (Also tried direct proxy address;port in each package but no go)
5. The ultimate frustration has come from the direct download of Skype (.deb). Double click and it starts to install then crashes because of numerous dependencies (things like libqtgui4).
