Ubuntu software center update issues - liamjake05 - 04-18-2016

I recently installed the Ubuntu Software Center on Linux Lite as Lite Software is horrible (I would love the Ubuntu Software Center to be built in  LL, or at least an option in the installer). When I installed it, it also installed the Ubuntu Update Manager (which I also find better than lite-updates and every time I update using the Ubuntu Update Manager I get the following message: [Image: PgdsxBb.png]

My question is, is it safe or will it overwrite LL with Ubuntu?

Backup 1st. You will probably/will break something. But me, being a loosey goosey computer user. I'd hit the OK button just to watch the fireworks.

I see soo many wrong moves in this thread. But I am curious, because I like watching train wrecks and motorcycle crashes.

Please read/search the forum..

Its ill-advised to use Ubuntu's software updater... Know what issues may arise doing so..

Here's a couple to get you started:

I did not have any problems with the Ubuntu one and the Lubuntu one is quite dull.

I'm sure hitting that O.K button will create issues...

This quote alone would keep me from installing... But that's me.. And if it was me, like rokytnji mentioned make a backup so that you can revert back.. It may not break this week or next or ever...

And Ubuntu Updater and 15.10...

But it is yours to do how you like..

What exactly has you with a "horrible" experience with Linux Lite sw center ? (I assume it is the available options and software choices available. )
I have used it and it works, however the selection of software is basic, mostly to keep thing simple for the end user. I use synaptic sometimes.
I have never had an issue with synaptic package manager, it is antiquated in that searching isn't intuitive as Ubuntu's sw center.
However I think Jerry is going for a more simplistic approach, yet if you make suggestions he will listen and adjust accordingly if they are justified.
I would make suggestions for the Lite software application. Submit what you want on there, and maybe a poll to see how many others would like the same options that you do.
Suggest thread change to - "Ubuntu software center update issues"

Let me sort things out here.The Ubuntu updater is better because I ran lite-updates and there were more updates in the Ubuntu updater. Lite software is silly OK. It is empty. I would like a really like a graphical software center and do not say there is synaptic. It is too advanced. Plus my question is if it will overwrite LL with Ubuntu?

Quantify why the Ubuntu SW updater is better, saying it has more updates is irrelevant. There is no justification for your statement.  Ubuntu has a different approach to SW updating than LinuxLite. Linux distro's are not a 1 to 1 comparison between distributions. There are different software packages installed between LL and Ubuntu, which could be why you see "more updates". LinuxLite is just that, minimal, and less complicated.

If you are trying to make LinuxLite more than what it is, then you take risks as detailed in-

I have successfully installed many software packages using synaptic. If you are not finding what you need/want in the LL software than you then take it upon yourself to go on that journey. It is outside of what is standard on LinuxLite. If you have a need for something more, make suggestions, donate time, donate money and put some effort into your requests.
If you want Ubuntu styled, themed, gui software manager than install Ubuntu, and take themes/xfce from LL and put in your Ubuntu install. There are several ways to approach your issue, I have outlined a couple solutions above. Good luck.

Re: Ubuntu software center update issues - Valtam - 04-19-2016

I was going to stay out of this thread because we have stated many times in the past not to use Ubuntu updater. I need to address the OP directly. If you use something that we don't recommend you use, do not expect support for it. The fact that you're wanting to install 15.10 in an LTS is even more disturbing. Not being rude, I just need you to take this seriously.
