Ultimate Edition Forum

Hi guys can anyone help me on this the add remove applications is not working what is wrong thanks

Use Synaptic to install/remove packages. The Ubuntu Software Center is slow and doesn't work on any computer.
If you want a list of good applications, a short description and an integrated installer, try Ultramatix.

I have always use the "Software Center" without problems. I can attest that the software center is a good source to add/remove applications!!

If you want a wider variety of applications in the software center you of to select the show drop down arrow and select "All available applications" in stead of "Canonical-maintained applications"!!

Ubuntu Tweak & Ultamatix are also excellent for adding applications but not necessarily the best application to remove applications installed in the system that are installed through other sources!!

Whats not working?How is it not working?Is there an error message?


You can' expect much support if you do not explain in detail.

sorry guys the problem is when i clikk on the add remove icon the application does not open hope I explained myself good now thanks

Ok Help us here, I see by your avatar sig. it says you are running 1.6 !? Umm Is that correct ? Ether way So by "clicking the icon" Do you mean the "Add and Remove" "Trigger bar" in Applications or have you placed an "icon" on your desk top ? as a link .? You must supply us with as much "fresh" INFO. as possible,what version of Ultimate, I know you posted in 2.5, But does that mean you are running 2.5 ? is this a fresh install? with all the upgrades? does everything else work ? whats your hat siize and what kind of ice cream do you like ! These are things we need to know !
