I just finished a clean install of 16.04 after some hardware changes, and I'm reconstructing system. Having trouble getting software center to install any 3rd party software, google chrome and teamviewer so far, I bet Skype will hang too. I checked all the obvious settings. I don't want to have to look up and add repositories one by one, I never had to do that before upgrade, and I try to minimize terminal use. What's the fix? Thanks!

go to ubuntu software center and search for "gdebi" or you can do sudo apt-get install gdebi after installing it, find the .deb package you wish to install, right click it, choose properties, and find the tab that says something like "open with" after finding it, choose gdbi and select "set as default". you may then close the menus and double click the .deb file and install it with gdebi

  • Wow, that's a great app ~ did the trick for me.

    For the sake of the thread though, does anyone know of a fix for the native setup?

  • No, to my knowledge there are currently no native fixes, I may update my answer when I find one. – Zalgo Apr 24 '16 at 23:13
