The subject says it all: how can I search a Unity lens using the command line? This would be useful, e.g., when ssh-ing into a machine.
For example, if I know I can get to the software center by searching for 'software' in the application lens but I don't know the command line for the software center it would be useful to be able to run the lens search via the command line and get results.

Hi. I recently installed Ubuntu Server 11.10. But I cannot install any software using the "apt-get" command. I think that's because the software sources for my country (Bangladesh) don't really work.
In Ubuntu 11.10 I managed to change the sources from the software center. I use Ubuntu main server as the source and it works.
I just started migrating from Windows to Ubuntu 10.04
I have big question regarding installing new softwares.

I want to install a software "ABC12" which is on the web (Let us assume it is Ubuntu version).
What are the ways to install - I am very confused.

The debain package "cav-linux_1.1.268025-1_i386.deb" can be downlowded from the Comodo anti-virus website http://antivirus.comodo.com/ . The package can be opened with Ubuntu software center but can not be searched for using it. It also can not be uninstalled using the Ubuntu software center.
I´am playing with Software Center's API, after seeing this post on askubuntu.
My question is: how can I get a list of all Ubuntu Software Center's apps?
From the other question I get this endpoint for retrieving all apps: http://software-center.ubuntu.com/api/2.0/applications/any/ubuntu/any/any/
But the problem is it looks like it only returns 580 apps.
But on appnr.com it seems their a lot m
For Applications management, Linux Mint 13 has Software Manager by default. Synaptic Package Manager is also there, but most beginners prefer Software Manager (over the synaptic or command line utility).
In Ubuntu, beginners prefer - Ubuntu Software Center, it’s easy to use and it has a lot of exciting features.
Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot comes with a better software management. For example, Ubuntu team has just updated the Ubuntu Software Center interface. To me, this new version of Ubuntu Software Center is easier to use and nicer compared to previous version. The search box is well placed at the top right of the main window. [...]
In Ubuntu, many of you know that the sudo command asks for your password to install a program, much like the software center.
My question is that if I was to change my user password, would I have to change anything within sudo for the password to be valid?
Thank you.
