Hi,
why does Discover not find LibreOffice language packages? It would be very important to be able to search through all packages in the distros repo.
Can anyone explain?
Alex
hi, welcome.
Discover is most for finding front end GUI applications and a limited set of backends to enable features in those GUI applications, as well as themes and wallpapers.
for the vast majority of packages and libraries you would use the command line or a GUI package manager like synaptic, which you can install from discover.
Can you be more specific?
For example, libreoffice-fresh-de for German, en-us' for English, then -en-gb` for English…
The fastest and most direct method is to open the terminal and install…
sudo pacman -S <package>
But first, you might want to find out what distribution you’re using (use kinfo) because package managers are specific to your distribution.
Discover is a front end that doesn’t necessarily fit well with all distributions, so you missed out probably the most important piece of information there… as a bare minimum I’d suggest the output from this:
kinfo
Hi,
thanks for your input. I use Debian stable and I know that I can use apt install package to install or apt search package to search, but I would think its normal for discover to “see” all packages too?
Thanks again,
Alex
