I only have this problem when I am 'root'. The regular user works fine after I gave the user permission to update. Some hidden security enhancement? Frank P.S.

This is not supported and should not be done. The updater does not need to be root, it is designed to be run as a normal user and gains needed permissions through PolicyKit. Running GTK/PolicyKit apps as root is a security risk. In 11.1 the updater will exit when run as root 2. A few reports that PolicyKit-gnome was not installed or a corrupt PolicyKit.conf file and after fixing those issues it worked. Should be all cleared up in 11.1 The remaining issues for cases that have PolicyKit-gnome installed, valid PolicyKit.conf file, and running as regular user are hopefully fixed in 11.1 as well as I am not aware of any reports of this in 11.1. I am closing as fixed in 11.1 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
