I did some reading up on polkit on the Ubuntu Manpage, and that pointed me to /etc/polkit-1/localauthority and /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority. The only pkla file I could find in either location was /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/com.ubuntu.desktop.pkla. So I edited that file and added the following:
[KPackageKit] Identity=unix-group:admin Action=org.freedesktop.packagekit.* ResultActive=yes And now KPackageKit doesn't prompt me for a password, but it doesn't wait forever for authentication, either. I don't know if this is the correct solution, but it seems to resolve it temporarily... -- KPackageKit does not prompt for a Password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578833 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-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
