Good morning. I have problem to install K3b (burning) in zorin 9 core. From Software Center the installation stops saying that I do not have the permissions Necessary. Same situation for Okular program. The attached figure shows my configuration.
Can somebody help me? Thank you very much.

Hi,

first check your software sources settings against those of the update guide and change the software download location if necessary:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2247

When you say you don't have permission, you are the only main user on the PC aren't you?, if you are logging in as a different user to the administrator, you won't be able to do anything administrative!.
If you created other user accounts, make sure you log in as admin to install software!. You might want to use the user management tool, open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t) and paste the following command to install it:

Code:
sudo apt-get install gnome-system-tools


Zorin Menu > System Tools > Administration > Users & Groups
