How to remotely use Ubuntu software center



my sysadmin set up my work machine such that I don't have root privilege but I can use ubuntu software center to install packages by providing my password.




I login to that Ubuntu machine remotely, and I'd like to install some packages from the software center, how can I do this?



I tried "software-center" , which gives me the interface, but nothing happens when I click on "install"



NOTE: both machines involved are ubuntu machine.



This post might help understand my situation, my sys-admin did the same thing. I don't know how he/she implemented it.



Thank you in advance.







my sys-admin say that the software-center cannot go through X-forwarding, so I cannot install via software center using ssh. But I will try the remote desktop thing.



Thank you all for inputs!



You can use team viewer



For the 32-bit package:




$ wget http://download.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_linux.deb


For the 64-bit package:



$ wget http://download.teamviewer.com/download/teamviewer_linux_x64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i teamviewer_linux_x64.deb



& Install it on the other pc that you are wanting to control with
connect by the id & password
