[Bug 353278] Re: [jaunty] kpackagekit doesn't prompt for user password
Still having this issue on a fresh install of 10.04 final. I formatted all of the partitions (/boot, /, /home, /var, /tmp, and /usr) during the installation but kept the data in /home partition, so maybe there's some config file or something there that's causing it. Interestingly, I did not have this issue when I did the exact same install on my laptop... both machines have the exact same configuration: same usernames with the same privileges, same partitions, LVM volume group, and volumes. Both machines had beta1 installed before, I formatted all partitions except /home during install. Very vexing. I found some threads about using some kind of Policy Kit Authorization Manager in the KDE Settings screen in Karmic, but apparently it's not available in Lucid. The solution for some users was to remove/deauthorize and then re-authorize themselves to rebuild whatever access control list it needs. I have no clue where I would begin to look for such a file. -- [jaunty] kpackagekit doesn't prompt for user password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353278 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to policykit-kde in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

@nerdy_kid: I believe this bug HAS been fixed, and I marked it as such above. However, Lynx marked this as NEW again, and undid this. I think the confusion has to do with what this bug is about, although it was explained above by Jonathan in post #64. We need a new bug report for the missing policykit-kde, and close this one.

This happened to me on a fresh install of Kubuntu 9.10. No updates possible through kpackagekit but still able to apply updates through aptitude. Noticed previous users had disappear with installing policykit-kde. No such package installed or available however there was one for just a policykit which I installed through aptitude and it resolved the kpackagekit and Policykit Authorization (in system settings) issues. -- [jaunty] kpackagekit doesn't prompt for user password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353278 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to policykit-kde in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

Update: after reinstalling, I clicked on my Update notifier icon, and got the bug. I then quit update notifier, and ran KPackageKit from the menu. There, clicking on apply all available updates gave me a login prompt. So I've got different behaviour between kpackagekit and updatenotifier (which seems to be a component of kpackagekit to me). -- [jaunty] kpackagekit doesn't prompt for user password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353278 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to policykit-kde in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

I'll followup on Item 1 as soon as the update notifier pops up again (my system is currently up to date).

[Bug 353278] Re: [jaunty] kpackagekit doesn't prompt for user password
Surprise, the bug is _still_ gone after downgrading those packages (and I am sure they were downgraded). In fact, I rebooted after trying again, because I was afraid there could be some environment variable still hanging from your new packages. I also tried to to purge all policiykit packages from Synaptic, and reinstall the ones from the ubuntu repos, because I have the feeling that your new packages might have left some residual config files somewhere that make it work even with the older packages. But too many things depend on policikit, purging policykit would wipe most of my install. I see if I can force a purge from the command line, just the four packages you mentioned (without checking for dependencies). I am sure one of the 500 flags for apt-get does that :-) Maybe you know exactly and you are around :-) Thanks for all the work! -- [jaunty] kpackagekit doesn't prompt for user password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353278 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to policykit-kde in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 353278] Re: [jaunty] kpackagekit doesn't prompt for user password
Yes, you are right! I purged them (with -force-depends in dpkg), install them with apt-get from the official repo, and they are working fine. I didn't reboot, but I logged out and in before testing. I am sure that would clean up anything in memory. So, it must be something about the order in which the post-install scripts are executed, right? It would be nice to understand exactly what's going on and fix it for good :-) I hope someone here can try your suggestion to confirm (I'll ask the folks in kubuntuforums.net, too) sudo apt-get install --reinstall libpolkit-dbus2 libpolkit-grant2 libpolkit2 policykit -- [jaunty] kpackagekit doesn't prompt for user password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353278 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to policykit-kde in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

@James: FIXED! Your packages simply fixed it here: * I added you ppa @ my sources.list * Updated from Synaptic, and I got the Icon from Update Notifier on my sys tray * Of course, these updates were your packages, and Update Notifier failed to upgrade (I just did it to make sure the bug was still there) * I used synaptic to upgrade the Pol Kit stuff from your ppa * I added the unsupported updates repo temporarily to see some new stuff, the update notifier icon showed up again * This time, though, I was able to update (the auth dialog popped up in her glory).

Erm, that's odd, it shouldn't have fixed it :-) It was only supposed to help in getting some more debug information. I've just realised that I uploaded the packages based on the karmic versions, so there were more changes than I expected. I just uploaded new ones with just the one change so we can narrow down what happened. Could you now do the following: * Downgrade to the released packages in jaunty and check the bug is still there. (if it isn't something weird is going on). * Install the +jw3 packages from that PPA and see if they fix it. If they do then that patch does more than I expect, if not then it's something fixed in karmic, so we can work out what.

Hi, I think that I've cracked part of the mystery. Could someone seeing this problem try the packages from https://edge.launchpad.net/~james-w/+archive/polkit then run from the command line and report the output that they get. I hope that we will get some more clue about what is going on. If not then restarting your session, reproducing the bug, and then attaching your ~/.xsession-errors would help.

OK - I believe this may be the same problem: in Kubuntu's Software Updates - KDE Control module, when I click on Apply all available updates, I get the error message You don't have the necessary privileges to perform this action. Running sudo aptitude safe-upgrade works fine though.
