Applications in Kubuntu

[vivek40]

Hii!
Do we have something like software centre,synaptic, software sources, update manager( from Ubuntu) in Kubuntu.

( I just had a look at Kubuntu(used the live CD) , and felt that it really was beautiful, though could not figure out much about the applications,but nevertheless want to give it a try.)

Re: Applications in Kubuntu

The default is kpackagekit although for many it's not the preferred application.

Synaptic can be installed in kubuntu and works well. You can also install adept if you like. Take your pick.

No previous knowledge assumed. Launch a terminal (alt+F2 and in the box type konsole)

Then in the terminal type:

sudo apt-get update

Return
password
Return
When the package list has updated

sudo apt-get install synaptic adept

Return
That will install both. Many prefer synaptic but at the time of writing adept is prettier and much better than kpackagekit.
