@joe-dunster - yes, it should be fixed but you will need to run an upgrade before you get the fix, it won't be in the main images until we make new ones at 16.04.1 (July). It will appear in the daily images though. If you downloaded the image from http://releases.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso then please run from the terminal:
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade You should then get the new version of Software with the fixes to allow you to install a .deb. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573408 Title: GNOME Software does not install third-party .deb packages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-software/+bug/1573408/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
