lubuntu software center

Post by Nagarajan »

Sir, I have installed lubuntu software center in lubuntu 13.10 lxde. I am able to select packages and add to apps basket also. But when tried to install, an error message reads : "You are not allowed to perform this action. You do'nt have the required privileges to perform this action." How to overcome this problem and install packages from lubuntu software center.

start the software center with "gksu" and the name of the app. enter your password when prompted.

if you want to start it from the menu, you might have to edit the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications accordingly.
for that you also need root/superuser privileges, so enter this:

Code: Select all

gksu leafpad /usr/share/applications/{nameofsoftwarecenterapplication}.desktop
replace {...} with the actual name of the app.

btw, why don't you just install lubuntu 14.04.1 LTS?
