By experience I know the root password is asked, but not any known password is working. An example is apper. When run as normal user it does ask authentication before doing the update, but because of this bug no update is possible because authentication always fails. When I run apper through kdesu everything works fine. Same problem arises for changes in network manager that need authentication. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just do anything that needs policykit authentication 2. Give root password 3. Authentication will fail Actual Results: None of the policykit protected applications that need authentications work. Expected Results: That it authenticates with the root password. Because I thought it was kwallet related I have been removing / renaming related files and folder in ~/.kde and ~/.kde4 without the expected result. -- 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.
