Since I am just sat logged into a F12 gnome session over vnc, I tried it: $ geany Command not found. Install package 'geany' to provide command 'geany'? [N/y] * Installing packages.. * Getting information.. * Resolving dependencies.. * Waiting for authentication.. The transaction failed: not-authorized, Failed to obtain authentication. This gnome session was started by logging into GDM over vnc - GDM with xdmcp enabled, and connecting from a remote machine to the VNC port via ssh forwarding.
