Cannot Run Software Update over NX Connect session.

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • When trying to run Gnome Software Update (packagekit) over an NX Connect v4 connection. Software Update will launch, load the update list, but then never prompt for administrator authentication.

  • The issue is not reproducible on console of system, software update is working fine. The issue is specific to NX connection only.

  • Why am I not able to run gui administrative tools over the NX Connect session which prompt for authentication(eg: 'system-config-users' and 'system-config-lvm')?

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
  • nomachine(version 4)
