This bug affects Ubuntu 10.10, Maverick Meerkat. Maverick has reached
end-of-life and is no longer supported, so I am closing the bugtask for
Maverick. Please upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu.
More information here:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2012-April/000158.html
Is this or is this not the same as the policy kit bug, below? My
Maverick desktop picked up this bug /today/.

Hey,
I've been having this issue ever since I upgraded to Maverick.
Not only in upgrade-manager, but also when using the nvidia X Server
Settings, and trying to 'Save to X configuration file' (see attached
screenshot).
I've read the whole bug report, and seems like there is a fix, but no
more
Sadly, i had to retract (#18) my comment. It changed from occurring
systematically to erratically :(

In a fresh WUBI-based maverick install, all updates installed, this
problem still occurs. james-w's PPA package resolves this problem. Why
not add this to maverick's updates?

Hey Cas,
Excellent hint - this updated version of policykit solved my problem.
Thanks for that.
Contrary to John, this bug was relevant for me after updating from 10.04
to 10.10.

Well, maybe the fix was committed, but at least it has not reached my Maverick
10.10 64bit yet.
If I try to update the policykit-1 through apt, I am informed that the newest
version is alread installed, but the installed version is policykit-1
(0.96-2ubuntu1). So I am still struggeling with the
I was actually going to post the same comment about it not being fixed
in Maverick.
I have however found a PPA that has an updated policykit for Maverick
(policykit-1 0.96-2ubuntu1.2) from reading the comments on #445303. I am

I am no longer having this problem, although I did on some of the betas. I am

I don't know if it's another bug or not, but i've got an error with the
same symptoms as described here, but an error dialogs shows afterward
that `polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1` crashed. That would explained
that the authentication success is not forwarded to the update manager,

I confirm that the latest version of policykit in James's PPAS fixes the issue
and I'm unable to reproduce the original behaviour.
Many thanks James.

The situation is worse with the fix (0.9662ubuntu1.1) The authentication
is systematically refused, at third try, the authentication dialog is
closed, and the installation starts.

Same problem after a fresh installation of Wubi maverick-desktop-i386
without network.
I installed wubi i386 desktop without network after reboot and a network

Ok, that strace was useful, thanks.
Here's a trimmed annotated version in the interesting section:
5362 is the helper process that talks to PAM, and 5307 is the supervisor

I just pushed a policykit-1 package to

if people experiencing the problem can install those and test that would
be great.
After installing it you need to kill polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
If you can still reproduce then
