Still having this issue on a fresh install of 10.04 final. I formatted all of the partitions (/boot, /, /home, /var, /tmp, and /usr) during the installation but kept the data in /home partition, so maybe there's some config file or something there that's causing it.
Interestingly, I did not have this issue when I did the exact same install on my laptop... both machines have the exact same configuration: same usernames with the same privileges, same partitions, LVM volume group, and volumes. Both machines had beta1 installed before, I formatted all partitions except /home during install. Very vexing. I found some threads about using some kind of Policy Kit Authorization Manager in the KDE Settings screen in Karmic, but apparently it's not available in Lucid. The solution for some users was to remove/deauthorize and then re-authorize themselves to rebuild whatever access control list it needs. I have no clue where I would begin to look for such a file. -- [jaunty] kpackagekit doesn't prompt for user password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353278 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
