Generally when you install from source, you need to have the libraries already installed, along with the compiler. It seems that Linux is more or less designed for command line use, so is there a way of using dpkg and having it handle dependencies for you? I've tried to install stuff myself and had problems with dependencies (using the command line dpkg, I think), so I used a front end tool instead (the Synaptic one) which worked. These instructions are repeated in a few places on the net:īut that's probably going to get the old version again, isn't it? If I install from the source, is it going to get those other libraries etc? Is there some standard way of installing files when the source is available? Normally I'd experiment, but I don't want to harm my system. I've unpacked it and tried to run the install-sh file but it's not having it.

It looks like it's only availble in a `here's the source code - compile it yourself` file, but I don't know how to do this. I like the look of the new version, so I've downloaded it from but clearly it's obviously to everyone but me how to install it. If you switch the snap-store app to the preview/edge channel using the command sudo snap refresh snap-store -channel=preview/edge (and reboot) you can use it right now – just keep in mind it’s not stable.I tried installing Sound Convertor using the add/remove tool, but it's installed an old version. Not that you need to wait until Ubuntu 23.10 to try the new store out. We’ll likely learn even more about the new… App Store/Software Center/Snapplication Shack as development on Ubuntu 23.10 Mantic Minotaur continues. Potentially, further down the line, these scores will be used to calculate other labels, such as ‘best improved’ (if an app previously low-rated receives a big uptick in positive ratings). The plus/minus scores will be used to compute “pseudo 5-star rating”. Instead of allow us to rate apps granularly based on 1 – 5 stars the new store will adopt the +1/-1 approach used by the games-distribution platform Steam.

Secondly, we’re used to giving five star ratings to software in Ubuntu – but that’s changing.

The app already supports DEB software – so is it being removed? So… surely those “tight resources” aren’t required?

It also makes it possible to only search for DEB software, as well as update DEB software. Finally nothing here stops users from installing applications the old fashioned ways.”Īt the time of writing, Ubuntu’s Flutter-based software app already lets you install DEB versions of software also available as a Snap. “Deb support will land later because resources are always tight. Doing that is hard to get right and restricts design choices in other areas,” he writes. “It’s a non-goal to try and present debs and snaps as two options for the same app. If the same piece of software exists in the Ubuntu repository and the snap store the new store will only make it possible to install the snap version. Ubuntu’s Director of Engineering says the new hub will be a “snap-first app store” designed around snap metadata. With that plan in mind you won’t be mighty surprised (and if you are, welcome back to planet earth) to hear that showcasing DEB software will not be the primary aim of this new Ubuntu Software replacement. The aim is, eventually, to default to a full-snap experience on the desktop.

Ubuntu is a Debian-based Linux distribution but it’s increasingly positioning snaps as the preferred way to ‘get’ software.
