Public bug reported:
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.
