Now since I already installed bittrip runner locally, I had to look for another package to re-produce the missing authentication. I've chosen to install a free software package - which is even easier as it reproduces the error without the payment process (i.e. without single sign on).
So the steps needed to reproduce the error with free software are just 1, 2, 3, 4 and 9 (click on install). I've attached STDOUT again. ** Attachment added: "stdout for free software package" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1056716/+attachment/3344558/+files/step-1-2-3-4-9-with-free-software.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to software-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1056716 Title: installation doesn't work (remote usage via ssh -X -C) Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Local usage of Software Center works fine, but when using a ssh connection (ssh -X -C nearby.computer.lan) I can't install software. Here's how to reproduce: 1.) Buy Humble Indie Bundle 6 2.) ssh -X -C nearby.computer.lan 3.) search for "bit runner" 4.) choose BIT.TRIP RUNNER 5.) click on "buy" ($ 9.99, but you won't get charged, because you bought Humble Indie Bundle 6) 6.) login to Ubuntu SSO -- something's missing here, I'll explain it later, let's just say "step 6.5 is missing" -- 7.) 1st problem (minor): BIT.TRIP RUNNER still displays the "Buy..." button (instead of install) 8.) click on "More Info" 9.) Now you can click on the "Install" button 10.) 2nd problem (major): nothing happens Comparing this process to a local install, there's one thing missing - that's what I mean with step 6.5. A local install asks me for root privileges after the single sign on (step 6). So Software-Center can't get root privileges and that's why it cannot install the package. I attached the errors in STDOUT beginning with step 7.
