Public bug reported: When attempting to install updates in muon-updater, clicking Install Updates immediately returns a dialog box stating "This operation cannot continue since proper authorisation was not provided", without first asking for a password.
Reinstalling polkit-kde-1 does not help, killing qaptworker2 does not help. Actual behaviour: the above error message. Expected behaviour: software asks for password, installs updates muon-updater: Installed: 2.2.0-0ubuntu3.1 Candidate: 2.2.0-0ubuntu3.1 Version table: *** 2.2.0-0ubuntu3.1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.2.0-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe i386 Packages Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Release: 14.04 Various things to check were suggested under Bug 833058, so a file is attached with more information ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: muon-updater 2.2.0-0ubuntu3.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.47-generic 3.13.9 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.1 Architecture: i386 CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Fri May 16 10:27:49 2014 SourcePackage: muon UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-04-19 (26 days ago) ** Affects: muon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 trusty ** Attachment added: "bug.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1320041/+attachment/4113488/+files/bug.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1320041 Title: Muon-updater fails to ask for authentication To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/muon/+bug/1320041/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
