Two days ago I performed a clean installation of Oneiric Ocelot on my Acer Extensa 4620. After installation I updated it first. Then I tried to install some other software packages like GIMP, Chrome, Pychess etc. But Software Center acted strangely. It shows the name of software in the list but its INSTALL button does not work. Can any one help me get out of this mess ? thanks :)

I just had this problem when installing Chrome, and I got it to work. If I remember correctly the source of the problems was a lack of dependencies. The command I ran was I came upon the solution when installing something through the command line -- Ubuntu told me dependencies were missing and gave me the commands to fix it. Hope this helps, though my problem wasn't exactly yours. |
