[SOLVED] Missing Software Sources

[gold_finger]

The package is called "software-properties-gtk" -- maybe it's missing for some reason.

Look for it with this command:

Code:

dpkg -l | grep software-properties-gtk

If missing, install it:

Code:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-gtk

You can have it show up in the Menu by itself (without having to open Synaptic) as follows:
-- Right-click Menu button on panel
-- Choose "Edit Applications"
-- Pick "Settings" category on left pane
-- Scroll down to "Software & Updates" and put a check mark in the box
-- Now it will appear under Settings category of Menu for easy access.


P.s.  You may want to check in Menu -> Settings -> Session & Startup -> Application Autostart (tab) and make sure there is no auto-update daemon (possibly included w/ Ubuntu Software Center) started on boot.
