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.
