Bug Description
Installed Trusty Tahr Lubuntu Beta1 version and added xubuntu desktop. In buth desktops, I tried to launch synaptic to install some packages. If I try to launch from menu, nothing seems to happen. From a terminal, I ran
pkexec "/usr/sbin/
and saw that it asks for password in the terminal window, instead of popping up an authentication window like previous Ubuntu version did. That was why I saw no authentication request when launching from menu.. I have a workaround)
ralph@minnie:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release
