Problem opening .sh file 31 weeks 6 days ago

Hi,

What's the best way to install new software? I mean where?

I downloaded the binary for some software, lets say dummy (I don't think there's a dummy package, I'm using it in a "you-name-it" kinda way). I verified the cheksum, unzipped and extracted it in a local directory under my home.

If I double-click on any .deb file, the Software Centre window only flashes on the screen for a single moment and disappears without any error message.

If I run Software Centre from Launcher/Dash/Terminal, it opens normally.

I am wondering who I need to get in touch with to find out information regarding books in the Ubuntu Software Centre. What are the requirements? Does Ubuntu get a percentage regarding the sale (like apples app store) and who do we need to submit it to? I am interested in doing manuals and novels for the Ubuntu Software Centre since I wish to support the idea. Thanks in advance!
