Package: gnome-settings-daemon Version: 3.36.1-1 Severity: normal It took me days to find out why my system suddenly refuses most USB devices I plug in with the kernel message "device not authorized".
It turns out the reason is that gnome-settings-daemon has pulled in usbguard, which by default rejects just about anything. I had no idea that USBGuard exists in the first place, so I had no idea where to start looking for the cause. However, since there is no GUI, the user is never prompted to allow a device. Why is gnome-settings-daemon depending on usbguard when there is no GUI and apparently no functionality in GNOME to allow or disallow USB devices? I would suggest that until there is such a GUI, this dependency should be dropped.
