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 have only just installed it but seems to fix the issue. https://launchpad.net/~james-w/+archive/polkit -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649939 Title: authentication popup does nothing when installating new software -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
