Permission error in software center on clean Ubuntu 18.04
I need to install the "hide top bar" extension on a clean installation of Ubuntu 18.04. After I open the software center I get his error message on the top under the search bar:
Unable to download updates: you do not have permission to install software
When I try to search for "hide top bar" it does not find anything, even though it works on my other machines and virtual machines.
I have tried so far:
- Rebooting
- sudo apt update
- sudo apt upgrade
Note: The user is set to auto login on startup
linux ubuntu permissions ubuntu-18.04 software-update

I use Ubuntu 18.04 Mate and I preferSynapticfor software installation searches. If you don't have it already, you can install withsudo apt install synaptic.
