Public bug reported: I installed Ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition 64bit on my Asus Eee PC 1005PE for a ride as the Atom N450 is said to be supporting 64bit. Everything is working surprisingly great except for this:
When I start the update manager and it finds packages I click on Install Updates. An authentication window pops up. I give in the correct password but the authentication window doesn't dissapear. The empty field for the password entry disappears but not the authentication window itself. No error message is given - the authentication window just hangs there. Nothing happens if I wait. When I force quit the hanging the hanging authentication window, I get back to the update manager. I click again on Install Updates, the authentication window pops up and again, the same problem. I have to run apt-get upgrade to install updates and everything is working fine then - I give in my password and it's okay. The problem is only when I'm trying to install updates via the graphical update manager.
