Under KDM I asked for software updates and got an option called Get

one on Linux drivers. I chose to install the first and third. Processing
started until I was told another dependency must be installed. I said
continue and the system asked me for a passwd authorization. I entered
the only passwds that seemed possibly relevant and both were rejected
Ok, I started again . At the place where it asked me for a passwd
previously it stated that I had not entered an authorizing passwd and
quit. So I could not proceed further.
I tried to use Gnome to do the same thing. When I searched for Get or
Remove .. the only relevant application I was shown was KPackageKit.
When I ran that I was given the option to Get and Remove Software, which
I ran, entered the passwd which should work and it did.
Now I pressed my luck and ran another option called Software Update.
Which attempted it said to find updates but failed. The same option
under KVM also failed.
However, in Gnome under Software Tools the Software Update application
succeeds.
Have other people fond the same bug or am I going crazy again?
Same bad experience here. All these apps are just a layer of crap spread
over yum. Save yourself some pain and use yum directly.
