Have you just installed Ubuntu, done the updates and are you preparing to open the Software Center to install all the applications and codecs that you know you use regularly? This whole process is time consuming, but more unpleasant is the fact that you have to stay in front of the computer all this time because if you install several applications at once, there is every chance of a blockage, and from time to time the Software Center requires the password to be re-entered. Also, applications such as Google Chrome or Skype do not exist in the Software Center and it is necessary to install them from the Terminal, which is not difficult at all, but which consumes extra time.
Forget all this hassle with the "Ubuntu After Install" application which, as its name suggests, is used after installing Ubuntu to automatically install all the programs we normally need. To install Ubuntu After Install, we will need to call Terminal, where we will write, in turn, the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa: thefanclub / ubuntu-after-install sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ubuntu-after-install
After the installation is complete, we can open the application, searching for it by name. It will detect at startup the applications we already have installed and will display a green dot next to them. We have the possibility to select for installation only the applications we need so as not to fill our computer with unnecessary things.
After selecting what we are not interested in, because they are all selected initially, we click on the " Install" button , and the automatic installation process begins. We arm ourselves patiently or find something else to do, because it takes some time. The big advantage is that everything happens automatically, without asking our attention in any way.
Here are the applications you can install:
