Version:           1.2.1 (using KDE 4.7.4) 
OS:                Linux

When trying to install a software package I get this error message: "This operation cannot continue since proper authorization was not provided"  I'm not given the option to enter a super-user password or anything like that.  The same problem does not occur in Ubuntu's software center.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
start muon software center->select program/package to install->press install->Error message pops up.

Actual Results:  
error message: "This operation cannot continue since proper authorization was not provided"

Expected Results:  
installed the package

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.0.0-15-generic
Compiler: gcc
KDE installed on top of Ubuntu 11.10 since I've got fed up with unity and gnome classic wasn't working.
