Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: policykit
I am on Intrepid and log in on another Intrepid box with "ssh -X <IP>".
In the ssh session I run the commands
sudo dpkg -P --force-depends splix
dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.ubuntu.DeviceDriver /GUI
com.ubuntu.DeviceDriver.search_driver
string:"printer_deviceid:MFG:Samsung;MDL:ML-1610;DES:;CMD:GDI;"
to test Jockey. The window to download the driver pops up, which means
that the X forwarding works. Problem is that I do not get asked for my
password to install the downloaded driver but I get an "Authentication
failed" message pop-up. The only way to actually install the driver is
to work on the local desktop of the machine.
pitti told me on the IRC that this is caused by the SSH session not
being a ConsoleKit session and this is caused by a problem in the
configuration of PolicyKit. Therefore I report this as a bug in
PolicyKit.
"ck-list-sessions" shows my SSH session.
