@Sebastian Heinlein: You can see the dbus message after starting update-manager without sudo. Your press the "check" button, the message is shown in terminal and then you're asked for your password.
I've tested this against package version 1:0.67. Here's my terminal output after pressing the "check" button and entering my password: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ update-manager could not send the dbus Inhibit signal: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process /usr/bin/gnome-power-manager exited with status 0 current dist not found in meta-release file current dist not found in meta-release file -- Feisty: can't use dist-upgrader https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/103911 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
