Software Manager

Post by spoortin_4 »

When i open software manager it opens just fine and searches just fine but once i try to open the software window that i want it wont open so that i can install it and that goes for any software. I can't for the life of me figure this out. so my question is, What could be the problem? This is odd to me cause i do not have any issue with this on my laptop that is multi-booted with windows 7

Are you doing this as a "regular" user or an administrator? also >>> what version and which DE?

On LM17C64 you have to do it as an administrator (software manager won't open for a regular user)... when you find your software you have to double click your selection to get it to open... have you double clicked it? If so, I'm out of ideas (I don't run LMDE)...

Try running it from the terminal:

Code: Select all

mintinstall
and post the output here (don't forget to use the "code" tag).
