Email popped up & I saw last two comments...
I booted dx6120 & a Lubuntu 18.10 test install;
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo apt install gnome-software (pulling in...)
gnome-software
searched & tried to install 'leafpad'

I just tried to reproduce this with xubuntu 20181017. I couldn't - see

/gnome-
I installed xubuntu in to a VM from the latest ISO and could use G-S as
expect and could install leafpad ok. I'll do more testing.
