What is the package name for Software & Updates and how to remove it?
12,169
The package is called software-properties-gtk.
I do not recommend removing it. It will remove ubuntu-desktop. I see no reason why remove this package even if you do not use it.

I think command line
apt updateis quite enough, so I want to remove the package for Software & Updates, however I don't know its name.

ubuntu-desktopis probably only an empty package that depends on all the various desktop components, so that installingubuntu-desktopinstalls those components. If that's the case removing it won't break anything. I don't know how to check that though. -
Pilot6 over 7 years@immibis That is true. But still, I do not recommend to remove base Ubuntu packages. Something else may depend on it.It is not worth the effort to check.
