Bug Description
To reproduce:
1. go to http://
2. run software-center google-
3. click the "install" button
4. there is a progress bar
then a couple of seconds later it vanishes and shows the "install" button again
5. wait for further time and it will eventually install
While creating a screencast to show how easy it is to install software in Ubuntu, I came across a bug.
I went to http://
The install started, but there was no icon added to the Launcher. Also, it seemed to be aborted during install. There were no indication that it had been installed; the progressbar went inactive and the install button became clickable.
I repeated those steps a few times, without any change. I then chose to download the deb and open it from Nautilus. Then it became installed immediately, but there's still no Launcher Entry.

The .deb package is not specific to Ubuntu, so it may not automatically install a launcher for Unity desktop.
