So: sorry if my question wasn't precise enough, what I really wanted
to ask was: is there a way tu use a PackageKit GUI remotely via ssh?
Ssh (-Y) in as root or 'su -' before starting it. Whatever it is doing to escalate permissions for the install doesn't seem to mesh well with the desktop being remote - or maybe you need to start some agent within the session to make it work.
3 steps...
- log into a user account via: ssh -X user@hostname
- drop to root with: su -
- copy the Xauth file from the user account: cp /home/user/.Xauthority
/root && chown root:root /root/.Xauthority
NOW you can run remote X apps via the ssh tunnel
Would it work if you tried ssh -A -X user@hostname?
