I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04, and I've had problems with the Software Manager simply just not doing anything. (there's a bug filed for it) and I can't get VPN stuff from Private Internet Access working either. Attempts to connect and then just drops.
Firefox and Chrome have worked ok.
But not really being able to update or install software from the GUI is frustrating. I can do it myself from the command line, but the girlfriend is not a command line user at all.
- gremlinsinc 10y agoAre you using Synaptic? There are other package managers out there... I can't think of the name but KDE has one - you also could try getting rid of ubuntu-desktop and going w/ Kubuntu-desktop (or you can install side-by-side and pick your poison at the session screen. ) -- Kubuntu has it's own different package manager.. though I prefer using apt-get to install things...Synaptic if I'm just browing what's available or looking for something not-specific for a task or something.
- gremlinsinc 10y agoif you're using the default software manager, and not synaptic - try running: sudo-apt-get install synaptic It should fix all your issues.
