[Bug 1098235] Re: Keybord non responsive for "Report problem"

[Oliver Grawert]

apparently update-notifier still uses gksu instead of pkexec, gksu grabs the focus and suppresses other application inputs (oncluding onboard).
the code needs to be changed to use pkexec instead, which is: 
a) the current standard in ubuntu to gain privileges and 
b) does properly work with onscreen keyboards.

Title:
  On screen Keybord non responsive for "Report problem" due to update-
  notifier using gksu

Status in Ubuntu on the Nexus 7:
  Confirmed
Status in “update-notifier” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  
  When I choose to "report a problem" via the dialog box, my password is requested, so the keyboard pops up, but, I think, due to the greying out of the all but the password request box the keyboard does not respond to touches.

  
  After downloading and installing "raring-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+nexus7.img.gz" I find that about 10 secouds after the machine has loaded the desktop something crashes .. the dialog box asks if I want to just cancel or Report the problem .. when I choose to report the problem I exsperencie this issue mentioned above

  You might want to know I am using the 32GB Nexus 7 Wifi only version,
  with the MultiBoot hack from XDA in place.

  sorry if I have not reported enough detail or this is already known
  about... let me know if you want more detail.
