Debian Software Manager Help

Debian Software Manager

Manage your applications on Debian based systems.
This application is written in Python3/Gtk4 and supports Debian repositories and Flatpak when installed and configured.

Note

Install Flatpak and add the Flathub repository:

sudo apt-get -y install flatpak
sudo flatpak remote-add --system --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak update --appstream

This is what Debian Software Manager does if flatpak is being installed.

Configuration files

/usr/lib/deb-software/data/*.json

Specifying the presentation and styling

/usr/lib/deb-software/style/<desktop>.css

Currently kde and xfce are supported.
If you want to add a css script for another desktop, check the environment variable: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP.

You can also copy a css file to the user directory (see below) and adapt that.

User directory

~/.config/deb-software

Here you can find the files used by Debian Software Manager and also the log files. A maximum number of 10 logs are saved, including the active log file.
