A picture of PackageKit showing the bug.
When this bug occurs, for users who are new to Linux, it will probably seem that KPackageKit has stalled for no reason. The message "Awaiting Authorisation" looks like it could be referring to something on the server that the repository resides on.
I'm not sure if I put this bug report in the right place. I put it under the heading packagekit-qt because I guessed that "qt" refers to the GUI part of KPackageKit, not a backend. But I may have put this bug report in the wrong place. This bug occurs on KPackageKit; I don't know if its in PackageKit for Gnome too. The good thing about this bug is that it should be easy to fix, I think. I think that when a dialog window pops up, the window has Properties that determine whether the window is above all other windows. So this bug can be fixed by changing the properties of the dialog-bog that asks for a password. (That's how it would be done in Delphi, which is a type of Pascal. Unfortunately I don't know C++ so I can't be sure if it can be done the same way here.) This is a bug in the PolicyKit-kde package, not PackageKit-qt, sorry. |
