special about your user (different group than sudo/admin?).

Title:
deb installation authentication gui does not allow password entry: box
is greyed out
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: software-center
Clicking on a browser-downloaded .deb (googletalk plugin) brings up
the software centre and after some warnings lets me click on
"install". yes, please. So up comes an authenticaiton dialogue. But
while it has the correct username there, and a box to put my password,
it does not let me enter my password: the box is greyed out.
That cannot be correct behaviour. If there's something wrong with
authenticating, then don't ask me to and let me know what's wrong.
finding the .deb in Downloads and launching the software center by
hand with sudo allows installation no problem.
