** Description changed: What has been done? - 1) Ubuntu installed with almost default settings to JFS partition.No network was available during install. + 1) Ubuntu x64 8.04 has been installed with almost default settings to 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.
