Hi, I am facing a lot of problem using the Software app in my notebook laptop. Every time I want to remove or install some software it asks for a Password. This is real frustrating for very slow laptop like mine. How to fix this Issue and Install and Remove stuff more easily
Ubuntu Software manager contacts the application server every time you try to install or remove something from the software application, this requires the computer password. I accept this can get real frustrating in old laptops. But, you can use the terminal as it asks for the password only once
I am not really into linux and don't know how to install and remove application from there.
You can use a search engine to search for the ubuntu code to install and remove a particular application
Not finding anything in particular!
Can you please text the codes to install brave, vlc, idle, spotify, steam, snap, qbittorent and sql.
To install Brave
sudo apt install apt-transport-https curl
sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install brave-browser
For vlc
First install snap
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install snapd
then
sudo apt install VLC
for idle
sudo apt install idle
For spotify,
$ sudo snap install spotify
for steam,
$ sudo add-apt-repository multiverse
$ sudo apt update
then,
$ sudo apt install steam
for qbittorent,

$ sudo apt update

sudo add-apt-repository "$(wget -qO- https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/20.04/mssql-server-preview.list)"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mssql-server

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mssql-tools
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/opt/mssql-tools/bin"' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/opt/mssql-tools/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
To Connect Locally
sqlcmd -S localhost -U sa -P '<YourPassword>'
CREATE DATABASE TestDB;
I suppose that's everything
I also wanted to remove the inbuilt apps like, Libre Office and Firefox.
Remove Libre Office
sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice*
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
Thank you very much For your Time
My Pleasure
