Test Case --------- Visit https://www.google.com/chrome/ in Firefox and download Chrome. 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. Regression Potential -------------------- This fixes a High Impact bug. And the fix is minimal: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-software/ubuntu-xenial/revision/41 Other Info ---------- I am setting the importance of this bug to critical according to #7 of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1708936/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
