Selective install of additional software

In software centre make each item so you can select that item, and create an install list, then perform an unattended download / install of all selected items.


We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Re: Selective install of additional software

Totally agree, because when I install Full featured Desktop it automatically installs Google Chrome and Thunderbird. Then I need to uninstall those applications manually. Google Chrome because It is spying on users an collects and stores personal information, and Thunderbird because I simply do not need it.
Also now, after I add i386 architecture using sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 when I use sudo apt-get update, I always got error message when apt tries to download google i386 package files.
Uninstallation of Google Chrome solved this problem.
UPD: It is better to add new desktop profile, which contains all software from Full featured Desktop and also offers selective install option.

Before asking for help please read this topic: https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3502   If you have problems with WiFi network, try to install the Network Manager using Q4OS Software Centre.

Yes, we would like to follow this idea in later desktop profiler versions.

It will be fixed in the next Q4OS release.
