It looks like the policy kit auth agent either isn't being started with
your other startup applications or is otherwise unavailable. There's a
utility named "Startup Applications" that will give you a list of
applications that are automatically started. Somewhere on that list
should be "PolicyKit Authentication Agent". If it isn't checked as
enabled, enable it, and if it isn't there add it. I think the startup
command should be "usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-
authentication-agent-1". If that addresses the issue, mark this bug as
invalid.
Thanks

Title:
Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 will not install Google Chrome through Ubuntu
Software Center
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Two Events to report.
1. I downloaded Google Chrome stable via Firefox 28 and had it open to
the software center for installation. The dialog box came up normally
and looked as if it were installing. But, after 30 seconds or so, the
authorization dialog box appeared asking me to put in my password for
it to proceed installation. After a minute or so after that, it
stopped and failed with "Package Operation Failed".
Repeated the install by purging chrome deb. from google, and tried
again downloading and trying step 1 above with same result. Same
effect with chrome unstable.
2. The next step tried was just downloading it straight from Google
and having it place it in the downloads folder. Opened it and of
course it tried to install with the USC, with same error as number 1
above.
