View Full Version : [all variants] How to export 'Installed software' list from Ubuntu Soft. Center?

Ubuntu software center (11.04 version) displays a clean list of installed software. I'd like to save that list. I've found ways to export lists of installed packages, but that's not what I want. The center list only includes actual programs like, say, Audacity which is what I want instead of the full listing of packages installed to resolve dependencies and what not.
The only thing I can think of right now is making screenshots, but that's not very efficient. Is there another way?

dpkg --get-selections > installed-software
And if you wanted to use the list to reinstall this software on a fresh ubuntu setup,
dpkg --set-selections < installed-software
Followed by
dselect

Thank you, but this is the exporting a list of installed packages I was referring to. It includes a lot more than the software center list.
