Comment 77 for bug 1573206

Please fix this bug!!! This has not been fixed despite what has been claimed. I have done a clean install of both 16.04 and 16.04.1 and the bug persists. Come on guys, this is a LTS release, and this should be addressed. Work-arounds is not a solution for faulty software.

It looks to me that when you try to install some package from the Software Centre, it starts the install then hangs. I believe this is because a dialog box should appear asking for admin credentials to install the software, but since that dialog box does not appear it just sits there waiting.

My set up is a Dell Precision M4500 (but this isn't a hardware issue - it is most definitely a software problem). My installation is a fully encrypted hard drive with encrypted home directory if that makes a difference.

Please mark this bug as not fixed.
