How I miss you Synaptic!







  1. Something is not right. I typed "Chrome" in the search and after clicking "Show 31 technical items" I was able to uninstall Google Chrome.

    1. That's strange, do you have an extra configuration? I have Ubuntu install by default.

    2. Normal Ubuntu 14.04. I installed Chome by downloading .deb (64bit) file from and that's it.

    3. I did the the same, but I can't remove it from the Ubuntu Software Center

    4. Oh, just noticed your screenshot is from "Installed" tab. There I can't find Chrome, but it is shown in "All Software" tab. Weird and stupid.

  2. Of course it does not work. app-install-data only ships files for packages shipped with Ubuntu. And because of that, Chrome is not recognized as a graphical application, but treated like a normal package.

    1. I know that. My point is they took synaptic because the Ubuntu Software Center was going to be better, a more friendly user application, and at the end, it doesn't work for removing one of the most popular browsers on the web

  3. If you didn't use Ubuntu Software Center to install Chrome, I think it's reasonable to then find that Ubuntu Software Center cannot remove it.

    Sure, it'd be nice if it could. But given that it specifically tries to make things simpler, supporting complex things you did that it doesn't support has no need to be a priority.

    1. I understand your point, but if you need to use CLI for removing the most popular browser there's an issue.

    miss you

Find which devices are connected to our network

Sometimes, we want to know how many devices are connected to our network. With any Unix OS you get easily know this. For this small tutorial we´re going to use Lubuntu 16.04. We will use nmap. Nmap (Network Mapper) is a security scanner. It is used to discover hosts and services on a computer network.

Access to AWS Postgres instance in private subnet

I have been working with AWS in the last days and encounter some issues when using RDS.  Generally when you're working in development environment you have setup your database as Publicly accessible and this isn't an issue. But when you're working in Production. So we place the Amazon RDS database into a private subnet. What we need to do for connecting to the database using PgAdmin or other tool? We're going to use one of the most common methods for doing this. You will need to launch an Amazon EC2 instance in the public subnet and then use it as jumping box. So after you have your EC2, you will need to run the following command. See explantion below After this, you will need to configure your PgAdmin. The host name will be your localhost, the port is the same you define in the above command. Maintenance database will be your DB name and the username you have for connecting. Hope this helps you connect to your databases.
