    QApt batch installer - Authentication Error

    I get this message - Proper authentication was not provided - from QApt. I have attempted to install Firefox and Wine.

    Im not sure what authentication it wants, theres no options to authenticate it in the pop-up. Im the only user on this machine, no other accounts set up yet

    any ideas?

    Re: QApt batch installer - Authentication Error

    ...I have attempted to install Firefox and Wine...
    How did you do it ?
    What application did you use ?
    The qapt-batch from the commandline or what ?



    Code:
    qapt-batch --help
    Usage: qapt-batch [Qt-options] [KDE-options] [options] [Package(s)]

    <html>A batch installer using QApt</html>

    Generic options:...

    Here:

    Giving a command:
    Code:
    qapt-batch --install xplanet xplanet-images
    The qapt-batch is asking the administrative/root rights. If the password is not correct or i'm pressing the "Cancel" button there is an authenication error.

    Alternative - with the kdesudo:
    Code:
    kdesudo "qapt-batch --install xplanet xplanet-images"
    There is a password query and the packages are downloaded and installed.
