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
@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 polic
Thanks Stephen, yah installing policykit-gnome solved the issue for me,
though the password prompt is the gnome one. I guess a packing issue for

Ah, spotted. That means you should have been getting the GNOME prompt at
least. Do

I'm downgrading my policykit back to version 0.9-2ubuntu1 from James'

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

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

Hi,
I think that I've cracked part of the mystery.
Could someone seeing this problem try the packages from

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.

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.
Running
$ polkit-auth --show-obtainable
com.ubuntu.devicedriver.install
$ polkit-auth --obtain org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update
$
just returns a prompt with no output.
The Refresh command on Software Updates still returns "You don't have
the necessary privileges to perform this action."
