I'm having the same issue running 16.04 with Crouton. I've tried installing and then running the gnome policykit with/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1, but I get a warning 'Unable to determine the session we are in'. The policykit is running after the warning, but it doesn't resolve the issue.

I got the same thing, just go into the terminal and run sudo su. Then, enter the software center with software-center. This worked for me on 14.04, and it should work for you, good luck, fellow Chromebook Linux user!

I managed to solve this problem using gksudo.
First try in bash
gksudo software-center
It should ask for a password.
If this works edit ubuntu-software-center
gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/ubuntu-software-center.desktop
and edit
Exec=/usr/bin/software-center %u
to
Exec=gksudo /usr/bin/software-center %u
This made my toolbar icon work.
This also works for Synaptic package manager.
