Issue

  • Why does the non-root user is not getting password prompt to enter password and apply software update using gpk-update-viewer?
  • When non-root user is trying to apply software update, it prompts user to authenticate but offers no space to enter the root password.
  • The software update window is showing that authorization is needed, but it's not providing space to input password.
