I had the same install problem on desktop w/ Unity, but laptop worked no problem using Gnome 3.
I logged out of Unity on desktop, logged back in under Gnome, and the install worked just fine via Software Centre.
Thanks so much teem, your suggestion worked!! Thanks again
You might also want to grab gdebi-gtk so you can easily install local .deb files without invoking the software center. Search for gdebi in the Software Center, or enter this at the commandline:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install gdebi
Then you can install any local .deb file by using the command
Code: Select all
gdebi-gtk (package name.deb)
For example:
Code: Select all
gdebi-gtk scrivener-1.2.6-beta.deb
