    Ubuntu software center and update manager errors

    Distro version: Ubuntu 13.04
    WM - Openbox

    When I try to install something through the software center I reiceve this error:
    Code:
    Software can't be installed or removed because the authentication service is not available. (org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.Error.Failed: ('system-bus-name', {'name':  ':1.101'}): org.debian.apt.install-or-remove-packages
    Google searching has given me two options, neither have worked. First was
    Code:
    ## GNOME PolicyKit and Keyring
    eval $(gnome-keyring-daemon -s --components=pkcs11,secrets,ssh,gpg) &
    in the autostart.sh file

    Second was open your autostart.sh file and add /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 & and eval $(shell gnome-keyring-daemon -s) & on the last line.

    I'm kind of stumped after this :/

    Fixed by updating directory for second suggestion.
