16.04 - Not all installed packages are listed in the Ubuntu Software app - Ask Ubuntu
this on 16.04 lts.
my understanding ubuntu software (formerly software center) should list installed packages on system. however, mine doesn't. example, i've installed google chrome, virtualbox, , dropbox. chrome listed in ubuntu software, 2 others aren't.
why this? bug or intended behavior?
to list of packages installed locally in terminal:
dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall
(the -v tag "inverts" grep return non-matching lines)
to list of specific package installed:
dpkg --get-selections | grep postgres
alternatively, use
dpkg -l
ubuntu 14.04 , above
apt list --installed
