           Summary: no way to enter apper password
           Product: Active
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Top Bar
        AssignedTo: active@kde.org
        ReportedBy: carlsymons@gmail.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

Apper icon appeared in topbar. Clicking button to apply updates brings up
authorization prompt. Touching in the text box to enter does not launch
keyboard. This makes Apper work as an update notifier, but useless as a full
update tool. 

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
apper appeared in Plasma Active top bar and reported that updates were
available. When apper updates didn't work, zypper dup. 

Actual Results:  
apper called for password. Unable to provide it without onscreen keyboard.
Didn't make sense to hook up external keyboard. Terminal updates worked fine. 

Expected Results:  
Apper authorization would launch keyboard

I think that Terminal + zypper dup isn't the best way for most people to do
updates. Apper is a good idea for the less technical user. It should work all
the way through to completion.
