Find list of programs installed.
How do you find the list of programs/applications installed on ubuntu?
|
dpkg --get-selections
|
Open the package manager (Adept or Synaptic).
|
Is there no gui application for this...?
|
Synaptic is a GUI package. System-> Administration-> Synaptic Package Manager

I use a very old unsupported version of ubuntu. Does this mean my synaptic won't get the proper updates when the application starts?

But what do I do if say I want to install the latest kernel release. (Not that I know how to or realize its inherent complexities, but anyway).

You can download the latest release here. Normal procedure is to burn this ISO image onto a CD which you can do by clicking on the ISO icon.
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download If you don't have a CD burner this is one of many sites that will sell a CD. http://www.osdisc.com/cgi-bin/view.c...ad=distrowatch You'll want to back up your data. I usually create a partition on my disk for this purpose. |
