<chapter id="introduction">
<title>What is Ubuntu Software Center?</title>
<para>
Ubuntu Software Center is a virtual catalog of thousands of free
applications and other software to make your Ubuntu computer more useful.
</para>
<para>
You can find software by category or by searching, and you can install an
item with the click of a button.
</para>
<para>
You can also examine which software is installed on the computer already,
and remove anything you no longer need.
</para>
</chapter>
<chapter id="installing">
<title>Installing software</title>
<para>
To install something with Ubuntu Software Center, you need administrator
access and a working Internet connection. (If you set up Ubuntu on this
computer yourself, you have administrator access automatically.)
</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
In the <guilabel>Get Software</guilabel> section, find the thing you want to
install. If you already know its name, try typing the name in the search
field. Or try searching for the type of program you want (like
“spreadsheet”). Otherwise, browse the list of departments.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Select the item in the list, and choose <guilabel>More Info</guilabel>.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Choose <guilabel>Install</guilabel>. You may need to enter your Ubuntu
password before the installation can begin.
</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>
How long something takes to install depends on how large it is, and the
speed of your computer and Internet connection.
</para>
<para>
When the screen changes to say “Installed”, the software is
ready to use.

<chapter id="launching">
<title id="launching-title"
>Using a program once it’s installed</title>
<para>
For most programs, once they are installed, you can launch them from the
<guimenu>Applications</guimenu> menu. (Utilities for changing settings may
appear inside <menuchoice><guimenu>System</guimenu>
<guisubmenu>Preferences</guisubmenu></menuchoice> or
<menuchoice><guimenu>System</guimenu>
<guisubmenu>Administration</guisubmenu></menuchoice> instead).
</para>
<para>
To find out where to launch a new program, navigate to the screen for that
program in Ubuntu Software Center, if it is not still being displayed. The
menu location should be displayed on that screen, below the colored bar.
</para>
<para>
If you are using Ubuntu Netbook Edition, an application appears in the
appropriate category on the home screen.
</para>
<para>
Some items, such as media playback or Web browser plugins, do not appear in
the menus. They are used automatically when Ubuntu needs them. For a Web
browser plugin, you may need to close the browser and reopen it before the
plugin will be used.
</para>
</chapter>
<chapter id="removing">
<title id="removing-title">Removing software</title>
<para>
To remove software, you need administrator access. (If you set up Ubuntu on
this computer yourself, you have administrator access automatically.)
</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
In the <guilabel>Installed Software</guilabel> section, find the item you
want to remove.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Select the item in the list, and choose <guilabel>Remove</guilabel>. You
may need to enter your Ubuntu password.
</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>
If a program is open when you remove it, usually it will stay open even
after it is removed. As soon as you close it, it will no longer be
available.

<title id="metapackages-title"
>Why is it asking me to remove several programs together?</title>
<para>
Sometimes if you try to remove one item, Ubuntu Software Center will warn
you that other items will be removed too. There are two main reasons this
happens.
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
If you remove an application, any add-ons or plugins for that application
usually will be removed too.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Multiple applications are sometimes provided as a single package. If any of
them are installed, all of them are installed. And if any of them are
removed, all of them are removed. Ubuntu Software Center cannot remove them
individually, because it has no instructions on how to separate them.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
You can use the <guilabel>Main Menu</guilabel> settings to hide unwanted
items without removing them from the computer. In Ubuntu, you can find
<guilabel>Main Menu</guilabel> inside <menuchoice><guimenu>System</guimenu>
<guisubmenu>Preferences</guisubmenu></menuchoice>. In Ubuntu Netbook
Edition, it is in <menuchoice><guimenu>Settings</guimenu>
<guisubmenu>Preferences</guisubmenu></menuchoice>.

</chapter>
<chapter id="canonical-maintained">
<title>What is “Canonical-maintained”?</title>
<para>
Some of the software available for Ubuntu is maintained by Canonical.
Canonical engineers ensure that security fixes and other critical updates
are provided for these programs.
</para>
<para>
Other software is maintained by the Ubuntu developer community. Any updates
are provided on a best-effort basis.
</para>
</chapter>
<chapter id="canonical-partners">
<title>What is “Canonical Partners”?</title>
<para>
<guilabel>Canonical Partners</guilabel> shows software from vendors who have
worked with Canonical to make their software available for Ubuntu.
</para>
<para>
You can install this software in the same way as any other software in
Ubuntu Software Center.
</para>
</chapter>
<chapter id="commercial">
<title id="commercial-title">Do I need to pay anything?</title>
<para>
Most software in Ubuntu Software Center is free of charge.
</para>
<para>
If something costs money, it has a <guilabel>Buy</guilabel> button instead
of an <guilabel>Install</guilabel> button, and its price is shown on the
screen for the individual item.
</para>
<para>
To pay for commercial software, you need an Internet connection, and an
Ubuntu Single Sign On account or Launchpad account. If you do not have an
account, Ubuntu Software Center will help you register one.
</para>
</chapter>
<chapter id="commercial-reinstalling">
<title id="commercial-reinstalling-title">
What if I paid for software and then lost it?
</title>
<para>
If you accidentally removed software that you purchased, and you want it
back, choose <menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu> <guimenuitem>Reinstall
Previous Purchases</guimenuitem></menuchoice>.
</para>
<para>
Once you sign in to the account that you used to buy the software, Ubuntu
Software Center will display your purchases for reinstalling.
</para>
<para>
This works even if you have reinstalled Ubuntu on the computer.
</para>
</chapter>
<chapter id="missing">
<title id="missing-title"
>What if a program I want isn’t available?</title>
<para>
First, check that <menuchoice><guimenu>View</guimenu> <guimenuitem>All
Software</guimenuitem></menuchoice> is selected.
</para>
<para>
If the software you want still isn’t there, but you know that it runs
on Ubuntu, try contacting the original developers of the program to ask if
they can help make it available.
</para>
<para>
If a program is available for other operating systems but not for Ubuntu,
let the developers know that you’re interested in running it on
Ubuntu.
</para>
</chapter>
<chapter id="bugs">
<title id="bugs-title"
>What if a program doesn’t work?</title>
<para>
With tens of thousands of programs in Ubuntu Software Center, there’s
always the chance that a few of them won’t work properly on your
computer.
</para>
<para>
If you are familiar with reporting bugs in software, you can help out by
reporting the problem to the Ubuntu developers. Most programs have a
<guimenuitem>Report a Problem</guimenuitem> item in their
<guimenu>Help</guimenu> menu.
</para>
<para>
Otherwise, look through Ubuntu Software Center for another program to do
what you want.
