Idea #5183: Command-not-found for Gnome Execution Window

Written by silwol the 20 Mar 08 at 08:12. Category: Accessibility.
Related to: Nothing/Others. Status: New

Description

When I type a command in the command-line, and the program is not installed, I get a suggestion which program I should install in order to make this command available. When I press Alt+F2 in gnome, I get an execution window where I can type in any command. I would like to get a suggestion gui which asks me wether I want to install the package.

I really agree with you but I think there should be an automatic way to install the missing software too...

AND have a checkbox to say "Please don't show me this again. This message can be re-enabled under XXXXXXX".

arch0njw good idea. That would of course be useful for people who don't want to be annoyed by the dialog (and the few seconds necessary for search).
