And as standard software installer does not: a) pass on querries from the package install (so that jackd can be properly installed for example) b) does not alert the user that a package they are installing has to remove another package the user still needs. This can leave the user with a crippled system.
I have personally helped a number of people fix botched installs. I have never had complaints after the user installs synaptic. synaptic, though old and worn, is the only GUI installer that is safe to use in my experience. It is also fast and provides package information that allows trouble shooting package problems. These extras may be confusing for a new computer user or someone coming from windows, but points a and b above need to be addressed if new users are to keep using Ubuntu longer than a quick try. -- Len Ovens www.ovenwerks.net -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xdiagnose in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1713313 Title: Unable to launch pkexec'ed applications on Wayland session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1713313/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
