Comment 20 for bug 1240336

Well, it works for installing packages from software center (auth dialog
appears), still fails silently sometimes (for example when I try to remove
software source PPA).

I also created a new admin user, by running sudo gnome-control-center ->
Users & Groups.
For that user everything works fine.

Best regards,
Eduard
