On every new installed Ubuntu there have to be at minimum the following written in the terminal
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo add-apt-repository multiverse
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install synaptic
sudo synaptic
Why isn't a graphical pakage manager not preinstalled in Ubuntu?
If I compare Ubuntu with OpenSUSE: On OpenSUSE it is an installation and then direct working with it. Yast2 is the package manager, which is in the start menu of the installed system. So on OpenSUSE new users need only to install the Operating System and all other things can be figured out by plaing around with the programs in the start menu.
And on Ubuntu? There you can with the programs in the start menu not all do. You have to use ap-get on command line or to install with apt-get the needed helpful tools.
Ok, Ububtu have its snapcraft snap-store. But not all programs existing for it. Programming languages and so on are not there. And to see, what programming langugeas can be installed, is the easiest way, to do it with synaptic, which is not preinstalled...
