Gnome-Software Empty [SOLVED]

#1 Post by mooreted »

On Debian Stretch I thought I would try out the Gnome Software Center just for the heck of it. Problem is, it's empty. Under the 'All' category there is nothing listed. Is there a way to make this work?

No, it came with Gnome when I installed it. I started out with Cinnamon then decided to install Gnome.

Care to expand on this?

I would use

Code: Select all

# apt install task-gnome-desktop
for the full-fat experience or

Code: Select all

# apt install gnome-core
for a more streamlined box :)

Other options are available...
