Same here but I am not running from live syste, it is my installation with last updates (9.10).
Normally it should ask for user password because I am admin of computer but for some reason it is asking for "root" password that I never set since ubuntu uses sudo. If I try: sudo /usr/bin/jockey-gtk it don't ask for password and works. I think that it is a System Policy problem because I have now the same problem with other applications like "Users and Groups". -- Attempting to enable Desktop Effects causes Jockey to ask for password not set by user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/444388 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
