I tried on my primary box (ubuntu 18.10 [x86_64] with xfce, lxqt & mate desktops added; xfce my usual).

When `gnome-software` was run from [whisker] menu, I got a "Unable to install ...: you do not have permission to install software" when trying to install a font (leafpad & gedit were already installed)

I `sudo gnome-software` and font installed with no issues.

I booted xubuntu on dx6120 & tried from terminal as before (gnome-software), then `sudo gnome-software) getting same error as prior attempts both tries :(
