Open with "Software Install" The Ubuntu/GNOME Software app should start and show you a basic page about Google Chrome Click Install. Google Chrome should install itself What Happens ------------ The Install page does show up. After clicking the Install button, the button changes to Installing for a few seconds and then changes back to Install. Google Chrome is not installed. There is no PolicyKit authentication prompt to install software. When I run gnome-software --verbose, Progress says 9% which I think is when it would ask for authentication.
