[Solved] Proper authorization was not provided

[Mossmyr]

(So I "solved" this problem by installing Ubuntu, and then adding the plasma desktop environment to it
But...)

Whenever I want to install a new application (in this case gstream for the mp3 codec) it gives me an error:
"This operation cannot continue since proper authorization was not provided"
No box asking me to enter admin password ever appears how do I provide authorization.

--

Solved!
With a bit of detective work I found this quote from "TheGhost":

I found the solution for this bug. KDE needs the package "polkit-kde-1" to popup the authorization dialog for system updates or network shares. It seems that the package does not install when installing the "kubuntu-desktop" meta package. Looks like a dependency problem in the packages.

Nevertheless, if you want to get rid of this bug, just install "polkit-kde-1" and all problems are gone.

I installed polkit-kde-1 by typing in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install polkit-kde-1

then relogging.

Of the 4 or 5 commonly-used methods for installing software, which were you trying to use?

Thank you for your reply!
I'm using Muon Software Center.
But I solved it, following a bit of detective work with google.
I'll just edit the thread with solution instead of responding here, better for future readers.

Good job finding the bug report!

Now you see why I only use apt-get! :P
