Package: gnome-software Version: 3.30.6-5 Followup-For: Bug #847442 Dear Maintainer,
I believe I have the same issue. After installing `gnome-software` when I try to install anything it does not prompt for password and simply says "you do not have permission to install software". I am not running under a full GNOME environment, but nevertheless policykit and packagekit and dbus are running, if that is relevant. Running gnome-software as root from a terminal works, but using the menu launcher does not, and of course if I run it as root then other features are not quite right (such as the "launch" button on installed applications). -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.3 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_CA:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gnome-software depends on: ii appstream 0.12.5-1 ii apt-config-icons 0.12.5-1 ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.30.1-2 ii gnome-software-common 3.30.6-5 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.28.1-1 ii libappstream-glib8 0.7.14-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.30.0-2 ii libc6 2.28-10 ii libcairo2 1.16.0-4 ii libfwupd2 1.2.5-2 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.38.1+dfsg-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.58.3-2+deb10u2 ii libgnome-desktop-3-17 3.30.2.1-2 ii libgspell-1-1 1.6.1-2 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.5-1 ii libgtk3-perl 0.034-2 ii libgudev-1.0-0 232-2 ii libjson-glib-1.0-0 1.4.4-2 ii libpackagekit-glib2-18 1.1.12-5 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-25 ii libsecret-1-0 0.18.7-1 ii libsoup2.4-1 2.64.2-2 ii packagekit 1.1.12-5 ii software-properties-gtk 0.96.20.2-2 Versions of packages gnome-software recommends: ii fwupd 1.2.5-2 Versions of packages gnome-software suggests: pn apt-config-icons-hidpi <none> pn gnome-software-plugin-flatpak <none> pn gnome-software-plugin-snap <none> -- no debconf information
