not able to download anything on software center

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2276 / 2 Years ago, sun, april 3, 2022, 2:59:53

i started with ubuntu just about 3-4 hours ago. I did only install it for some software-developement purposes (ruby, phyton, perl, etc.).

When i'm going to get any kind of applications over the ubuntu software center, i'm not able to install everything. The "Install"-item in the topmenu is always locked..i only receive the following sentence, when i'm going to get more information about a application:

'available from the "main" source' - Use This Source

Nothing happens after clicking on 'Use This Source'.

If u need any further information, please tell me.

Thanks in advance,
Maxi

As Nathan said, but in case it doesn't work, this might work instead. I fixed it once by going to software-center, edit > Software Sources. Disabled everything, closed window (sudo apt-get update just to check there's nothing) and then re-enable everything but the source-code repositories.
