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 --obtain org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update prompts for a username and password, asks whether it should keep the privilege, and then outputs "Successfully obtained the authorization for org.freedesktop.packagekit.system-update." I still get the same error message in the Software Updates window, though. Please let me know if you want any other info. -- [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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
