Broken permissions on file system
Asked by
Birdy
I get a very strange behavior when I click on install for any package in the software center --- the popup window to authenticate appears for a few milliseconds, jitters horizontally, and then disappears. Thus, I am unable to authenticate any installation and of course installation is not possible.
I suspect that I have by mistake used chown or chmod (or both) wrongly and somehow the authenticate process has been disturbed; but, I have no idea on how to fix this.
I was able to use Synaptic Package Manager to reinstall the software center; but this had no effect --- still can not install any package given in the software center!
I am a newbie to Ubuntu and would appreciate greatly help on how to return my system to normal!
