Relatively new to ubuntu...after installation i was able to install software with software center. Now, however, i get the message that I don't have permission to install software. There are no details and it is not prompting me for credentials or anything.

In between install ubuntu with software install privileges and now I have been setting up the system with zabbix, nginx, php, mysql, eclipse, etc....with no problems.

I also do not have privileges in software & updates etc.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Here is the output of sudo apt update:

i found the solution here: Error instead of password prompt when admin privileges needed.

It had something to do with my installation of x2go....
