Error I am getting while trying to add / remove packages through gpk-application
What does "rpm -qa | grep polkit" say? $ rpm -qa | grep polkit polkit-0.101-6.fc15.x86_64 polkit-gnome-0.101-1.fc15.x86_64 polkit-desktop-policy-0.101-6.fc15.noarch polkit-qt-0.99.0-2.fc15.x86_64 After further investigation I've found out, that issue applies only when I am using "Classic GNOME with Compiz" session (thanks to compiz-gnome package), when I switch to default "GNOME" session in fall back mode it works just fine. This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
Created attachment 513483 [details] Error I am getting while trying to add / remove packages through gpk-application Description of problem: Whenever I want to add or remove software through gpk-application, it fails to obtain the authentication. See screenshots attached. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # rpm -qa | grep PackageKit PackageKit-yum-0.6.16-1.fc15.x86_64 PackageKit-gtk3-module-0.6.16-1.fc15.x86_64 PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.6.16-1.fc15.x86_64 PackageKit-0.6.16-1.fc15.x86_64 PackageKit-gtk-module-0.6.16-1.fc15.x86_64 PackageKit-yum-plugin-0.6.16-1.fc15.x86_64 PackageKit-glib-0.6.16-1.fc15.x86_64 PackageKit-qt-0.6.16-1.fc15.x86_64 PackageKit-device-rebind-0.6.16-1.fc15.x86_64 PackageKit-command-not-found-0.6.16-1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open gpk-application as an user 2. search of package to add or remove 3. commit changes Actual results: Application fails to obtain the required authentication. Expected results: Application to ask for user's password or allow to use fingerprint reader. Additional info: During the installation I've selected KDE desktop environment, but decided that it's too buggy (display issues), so decided to remove it using the following command: $ sudo yum groupremove kde it has removed all kde packages, I suspect, including some packages required on gnome desktop too.
