Make the dialog have three buttons (and some explanatory text of course!)

1. Update: update the package list for the user and try again to see if this resolves the problem
2. Continue Anyway: Continue installation of the untrusted packages
3. Cancel: Don't continue with the installation

Simply having "Close" is completely unhelpful to anyone.



NOTE: THE MOCKUP DOES NOT SHOW THE EXPLANATORY TEXT SUGGESTED ABOVE, BUT THERE SHOULD BE SOME TEXT EXPLAINING TO THE USER WHAT EACH OF THE BUTTONS WILL DO.

Self explanatory. Easy to understand. Far less confusing than deciding if "Update" or "Continue Anyway" would fix the problem.

How about having logos for each of the various environments, and marking products according to which environments they have been *tested* on?

That way, if a KDE-specific application hasn't been tested for Unity compatibility, it doesn't have the Unity logo, and vice versa.

This could also provide an option to only display products that have been tested for a specific environment. Think of this as a "certification" approach. It shouldn't add too much extra work, as the environment that the program is developed for would be marked immediately, and users who are more adventurous could test untested programs in their environment.

This goes beyond Solution #1, in that satisfying dependencies doesn't guarantee proper working of the program.

Marking the incompatible software only brings more attention to them. Instead, put a little "star" or "check mark" by software that works well. Almost like editor approved software.

Also, there could be a way to open a window showing "314MB install. Listed dependencies are lib...", to indicate how much harddrive space will be used after installing the software.

Here are a few ideas i would like to share:

-When listing software, instead of using a tiny checkmark over the application icon it would be nice to use a nice clear checkmark, i picked on the right side of the layout as it seems very empty on the right side

-Add seamless "borders" between application listing for a eye friendly scrolling. much more soothing in my opinion. Keeping the color flat makes my eyes yawn in boredom as I explore the applications...

-When installing applications it would be nice to have a "locate" button or link, that will link straight to the application either in the gnome main menu or on the software center installed tab. (For those of us that get lost in what we have and what we dont have, and have a hard time finding it manually) It can be either located on the detailed section of the application description or simply on the front listing of all applications, as a "Installed: Locate" link.

Another small tweak i would like to see is the "Installed Software" tab look more like the "control center" application, its alot more organized, full, and vivid rather than tiny icons in the very side, and its not even organized by category, this spells chaos! Oh and why isn't the control center by default shown under system =( i think its very useful and much more "flow" to use than the menu. Thats it! For now at least, if i do get more ideas i'll post here, but this is just an idea of what can be done to give the software center a more welcoming and eye catching approach!

I think the idea has merit for people with limited hard drive space, but I think it should be optional, and the default should be to show all programs. Say a new user doesn't like Brasero (a GNOME app) and somebody online recommends installing K3B (a KDE app) instead. The new user, having just come from Windows or Mac, doesn't know what a desktop environment is. This new user should be able to find K3B in the Software Center without any trouble. More advanced users, who know what a desktop environment is, would be able to change this setting if they want to.

It should be optional whether to show libraries and such things, and whether to only show the programs. Dependencies are taken care of anyway. Installing libraries should be for power users, as it was with using Synaptic (which I still use btw)

To attract more developers and users to the Ubuntu Software Centre, it would be good to see a set of game or non-game bundles currently popular by the Humble Indie Bundle or Indie Royale, appear in the Software Centre.

So for example every quarterly of a year a Ubuntu Bundle could appear with a set of new apps appearing in the Software Centre for their first time and them apps will be a pay-as-you want scheme, with a certain amount going back to the Devs, Canonical and Charity.

Then once that bundle is over them apps that appeared can go to their standard prices set by the developers so can be purchased for any future use.

To me as a consumer its difficult to actually get to know paid apps that might interest me because the apps that get the most spotlight are free.
A simple solution would be dividing the ubuntu store window between PAID and FREE, so that we can easily search and find paid solutions (think apple's app store)
This equal visibility between the two types would make the store much more attractive towards for profit organizations.
Also in each category a banner could appear showing one of the following:

1) Ads payed by developers to promote their product. Revenue would help the development of ubuntu.

2) Newcomers (free or paid) that stand out

3) Most downloaded apps in that category in the current week

Support for web apps that come from the Chromium web store. This would allow not only increase the amount of games available, but also the amount of apps in general. Apps would still open in Chromium by using short-cuts, and if the user wished the apps could look as if they were in their own window. Since most chromium apps come with an offline version they would still work if offline.

This idea is not meant to be a replacement for the software center. I chose Chromium over Firefox, since Chromium's web store is much more extensive and it was made for its own OS.

Please vote as if each solution was the only one, I ask that you don't vote as if the solutions are competing. I think that the other solutions above should also be used, this is because I believe this is a situation where many solutions are necessary.

The Ubuntu Software Center should support in app purchases in order to give developers a revenue stream that doesn't require the users paying upfront for the game.

The rationale for this is that the most successful games are free games and the in app purchase model supports very well the freemium business model for apps and games. Freemium has worked very well on mobile platforms and it very successful at creating communities around games by using both paying fans and passionate, but less financial capable fans.

Adding this API would be just one of the changes that could help boost the number of games in the Software Center.

The current version of the Software Center (Ubuntu 11.10) is just plain awful from a developer's point of view.

Allow more customization on app pages. Allow for a more Android market like layout where the app / game publishers can have a banner depicting their product. Allow for multiple screen shots of apps / games. Allow for YouTube trailers for the games.

Change the list of paid apps from using a one column list layout to a multiple column layout with a max of 5 columns so that it remains readable even of large displays.

Integration of software center with desura.
Things like a shortcut to desura in the default images could help a lot.
From the website: http://www.desura.com/about

"The aim of Desura is to provide gamers with a dependable interface which delivers the content they want to play in the quickest cross-pc way possible. At its heart is a digital distribution application which can serve (and patch) games, mods and addons to its members."

This should make it easier for developers.


(As a developer I still see many problems for developing for Linux. One of the main technical problems is the lack of good, stable drivers and continuous changes in distributions infrastructure. There are also a lot of small differences between distributions or even different versions of one distributions. Costs more to make tailored packages for 10 distributions. Costs for testing and debugging are multiplied a hell of a lot! The strong dependency of key components between drivers and specific versions of other things is a serious flexibility/functionality disability. Hopefully in the next ten years a lot of technical things will be solved with the following things: pulseAudio+OpenSL ES, Wayland+better OpenGL drivers and other improvements.)

Every app in the Software Center should have, if the developers of said app are asking for it, a button like "Name your price" instead of "Install". That's basically what Bandcamp does with music albums (some are even Creative Commons-licensed).

As you may know if you've already bought a Humble Bundle, pay-as-you-want is actually a disguised donation, except you'll certainly pay more attention to it than to a small PayPal "Donate" button at the bottom of a webpage, like PiTiVi does, for instance. Would you consider giving some money to the PiTiVi project if their Software Centre page asked you for it before you can confirm the installation ?

To me, this solution could give to Ubuntu the appeal Apple app stores (or even Valve's Steam) have on developers, but in a more ethical, free-as-in-freedom friendly way : you're not buying any right to use the app, since the license already gives them to you. You're just incited to help the project and thank the developers.

A few things I think should be taken into consideration when making it:

1. The graphical shell should always be in control so that I could switch to another window while I’m in a fullscreen game.

2. The transition between gaphical shell and fullscreen game should be totally smooth.

3. The games should not be allowed to change the resolution of the screen. Instead they should change their own resolution and display at the screen’s native resolution.

4. It would be best to think of games as content rather than computer programs, distribute them as a single file, and have a "game player" the way we have "video players".

4.1. It would be usefull if the games could be compiled to run natively on one reference hardware platform like x86, but have a vm to run them on other hardware platforms like ARM. Compile once, run anywhere, but on certain hardware it would not only run, but run directly on the hardware.

4.2. It would be useful to have a format that would allow games to run without local installation from things like removable media, especially if it allowed multiple separate games to be installed on a single DVD perhaps the DVD with a custom menu system (similar to a DVD menu) for browsing the games and any other materials like manuals or bonus material.

The advantage of this solution over #2 would be that it would be possible to have several tabs open at the same time, thus making it easier to compare several software.

I would also like to have stuff in ONE spot, meaning that I would like to see the movie- AND music store INSIDE of the Software-Center, because it's much easier to look out for or to find, since that is the place I have to go to, in order to buy the DVD playback-software (and everything else anyway).

Anyway, I think, if the price per title is right, this could be a nice feature. I know "I'd buy that for a dollar!" (

Or hey, how about offering a movie FLATRATE or sub while at it - optional, of course. That's actually it. Thank you for reading. Oranges

Instead of adding this store to the software-center (used for software), add it to banshee (next standard multimedia player).

I like the idea of Ubuntu One, but since I was already a DropBox user, this conflicted with my DropBox and I was getting crazy errors and I ended up disabling my Ubuntu One. That needs to be fixed, first. But I like the idea of Ubuntu having a streaming movie library to rival NetFlix. So, instead of me paying into NetFlix with an annual fee, and using a spare Windows laptop, I could pay to Canonical and get the same thing, but have it working on Ubuntu. Currently you cannot view NetFlix on Ubuntu because of the Silverlight issue, and even Moonlight is blocked with it. (I suspect Microsoft dirty tricks at play here -- just a hunch.) As for Hulu being a solution, it's not really a solution because they don't have new release, mainstream movies. Anyway, in the end, I would think it would be a huge boost to Canonical's finances to support Ubuntu.
