Wow, thanks a lot for that!
I usually do
Code:
sudo apt-get install whatever
because I find it quicker than playing with the mouse and trying to figure where to click... and the terminal is anyway one of the first thing I open in a session.
But true this time I tried the Software Center... in 14.04, Software Center was desperately slow, it improved a bit in 16.04 and wanted to test that in 18.04
But I'll unsintall it the same way and do the command line method again. I would have found that in the end, but you saved me probably several hours searching why.
Thanks again!
