Bug#623258: polkit-kde: Authentication fails with correct root password
Package: polkit-kde-1
Version: 0.95.1-2+b1
Severity: important
File: polkit-kde
The KDE policy kit dialogue fails to authenticate even if I give it the
correct root password. This reproduces everytime, since some time ago
and makes saving NM passwords impossible.
Steps to Reproduce:
Start nm-applet, right click on its applet to get a menu, choose "edit
connections". Go to wireless tab, choose "Add" and add some data, check the
"Available to all users" box and try to save.
Two more more bugs are related to this:
1. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-gnome/+bug/500354
This seems exactly the same, but for the GNOME counter part.
2.https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271147
Opened by me, because the same dialogue fails to tell what it wants.
