Public bug reported:
What has been done?
1) Ubuntu x64 8.04 (desktop version from live CD) has been installed with
almost default settings to 20Gb JFS partition.
No network was available during install.
2) Network has been configured.
3) System->Administration->Update Manager launched and I'm attempted to
perform system update.
What happened?
Update Manager has hanged at point where it must request user's password to
gain root rights so it can proceed.
Actually, gksu has hanged.Update Manager resumed operation when gksu has been
killed with task manager.Actually looks like one of these nasty gksu deadlocks.
Extra steps:
When Update Manager resumed operation, system has been updated and rebooted
(as requested by updater).
Then I'd attempted to use Update Manager again.And it again hanged due to same
issue aka gksu hanged invisible, no enter password dialog appeared.Looks like
gksu fails to display dialog or it's invisible and Update Manager have to wait
forever since it is impossible to enter user's password anyway.
