Binary package hint: software-center
If I try to install software with Software Center, nothing happens aside from dumping some errors to the shell I ran it from. The install button greys out for a moment then goes back to its original state. This is on Ubuntu 11.04 with software-center 4.0.1 and policykit-1-gnome 0.99-1ubuntu4.
I suspect this probably has something to do with me not running gnome, kde, xfce, or any other desktop environment. I have a window manager (sawfish) and that's about it.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Run software-center from a terminal of some sort.
2. Select a package.
3. Click "Install".
Actual results:
Errors dumped to parent shell, and then the Install button goes back to a normal, clickable state.
Expected results:
User is asked for sudo password, then software is installed.
If anything goes wrong, Software Center should notify the user through its GUI in case they aren't running it from a shell. (dumping errors to the shell is also okay, but shouldn't be the sole error-reporting mechanism)
Additional information: attached below |
Whenever the policykit authentication agent isn't running (ie failsafe sessions, custom sessions etc), then the install/remove buttons briefly become insensitive, after which the transaction fails and the buttons become sensitive again.
