I can't install with software manager

I did a fresh install everything is working fine but i can't install applications with the software manager, the software manager opens correctly and shows the applications but when i double click in any applicaction nothing happens.

Did you also try synaptic, it is also in the menu.
And if the command line doesn't scare you then try

Code: Select all

apt-get update
apt-get install something

The advantage of doing apt-get is that error messages come through directly so you see what is wrong.
And if you don't know what it means then just past it in this forumpost.

The software manager sometimes is buggy in my experience. Probably it works fine after the next reboot.
If you don't like Kalyk's solution via terminal and prefer something with GUI you can also use the package management (synaptic) to install or uninstall packages. The disadvantage of both solutions is that you already have to know the name of the package/program you want to install whereas the software manager let's you search for something and gives some information about the program.

I had the same trouble, it is a bug, and has been reported. Hopefully, the dev's will come up with a fix.
