[Bug 1553211] Re: impossible to install "technical" packages (plugins, kernels...)
OK. I agree with the plugins. software-center treats recommends and suggests as plugins to the application. I will change the bug title to reflect that. ** Summary changed: - impossible to install "technical" packages (plugins, kernels...) + gnome-software does not treat recommends and suggests as plugins to applications | impossible to install "technical" packages (plugins, kernels...) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1553211 Title: gnome-software does not treat recommends and suggests as plugins to applications | impossible to install "technical" packages (plugins, kernels...)

[Bug 1553211] Re: impossible to install "technical" packages (plugins, kernels...)
ok but just think like NORMAL people ! Example : How will they install gimp plugins ?! They will have to do it the "windows" way or use a command line. Some of them... won't like it. Trust me, I'm installing and teaching to "normal" people everyday. The simple "additional content" section in softwares descriptions was a great "plus". I'll make a Youtube tutorial on how use synaptic for my customers, but honestly, it's few ridiculous. There should be an "advanced mode". Going back to grandpa synaptic is a regression. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1553211 Title: impossible to install "technical" packages (plugins, kernels...)

The whole purpose of GNOME Software is the ability to install only applications; packages with .desktop files. If you are experienced enough with other kind of packages; CLI, libraries, development or kernel, you should be comfortable using a terminal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1553211 Title: impossible to install "technical" packages (plugins, kernels...)

Thanks but the software store is meant to be a simple UI to install desktop software, technical items might be installed by more technical ways (if you want to install a library or another kernel you should be fine using synaptic or such) ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1553211 Title: impossible to install "technical" packages (plugins, kernels...)
