Description of problem: I am the administrator of my system, I click install on a package in gnome-software but the package does not start installing instead giving the message pending. There is no such hindrance or delay when installing from yumex or the terminal. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.18.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Become administrator in Fedora 2. Open the gnome-software and click install on a package of your choice Actual results: the installation fails to initiate, instead there is a pending message. Expected results: When the user is administrator, the package should either install automatically like in previous versions, or it should ask for the administrator password and start installing. Additional info:I am not using the latest update librsvg2, that is librsvg2 2.40.12, instead I downgraded to the previous version due to a bug blocking the settings of a gnome extension when using the latest version of this package. Not sure if this affects gnome-software. I also removed gnome-boxes, because my computers gets overheated by virtual machines, don't know if boxes being an integral part of gnome, when removed (through gnome-software) has caused a dependency problem.
As a standard user though I am able to install software from the gnome-software, not as an administrator though.
I had automatic login enabled, with automatic login disabled, I am able to automatically install packages from gnome-software. In that case, I think gnome-software should be made to ask for the password when you are using automatic login just like the gnome keyring does.
I have same issue but WITHOUT automatic login See https://framapic.org/iWIxU68PWaUG/SSy82Lf7vBWr.png gnome-software say in not a "sure sources", no problem with sudo dnf Here screen is for pigdin, but same with PdfMod or any software.

(In reply to Ervin from comment #0) > 1.Become administrator in Fedora Do you mean using the "Users" control center panel? Can you give more details please.
Yes When I enable automatic login at the "Users" control center panel, I can't install packages from gnome-software.
Correction, I enabled myself as a an administrator at installation time.
It has been fixed with new releases.
