How do I install Ubuntu Software Centre application?

rated 0 times [ 4] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 382 / 1 Year ago, mon, january 2, 2023, 7:06:15

I accidentally removed the Ubuntu Software Centre, when I was actually trying to remove my Ubuntu One applications. Although I don't remember directly uninstalling the Centre, I think deleting one of those packages might have triggered it.

I cannot look at history of application changes, as the Software Centre is missing.

Please advise on how to install, or rather reinstall, Ubuntu Software Centre on my computer.

Since you are not sure what you deleted, I suggest you to run sudo apt-get purge software-center to clear all files it left over. Then, you can reinstall from scratch by running sudo apt-get install software-center.

Regarding the history of changes, there is a log file called .bash_history in your home folder which show the history of the commands you run in the terminal. This is a hidden file so in order to see it you need to press Ctrl+H. This can give you hints of what you deleted.
