If I run /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 in a terminal, then the install button starts working again.
Where can I see the log/reason why it failed to start with gnome? It looks like the autostart file is valid: $ cat /etc/xdg/autostart/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=PolicyKit Authentication Agent Comment=PolicyKit Authentication Agent Exec=/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 Terminal=false Type=Application Categories= ;OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE; X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=polkit-gnome-1 -- click install, nothing happens, in software center if policykit auth agent not running https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/499937 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
