Bug ID: 497365
Summary: Bug / freeze / crash authenticating for root actions
with password when fingerprint enabled
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.2.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: g.gue...@posteo.net
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Since I have enabled fingerprint print, when I am prompted to authenticate when
wanting to do a root action (e.g. changing system time or opening a file as
root), I am presented with the choice of using my fingerprint or entering the
password. Using the fingerprint work just fine, but using the password makes
the authentication dialog window hang and subsequently makes the underlying
application crash (e.g. if trying to authenticate to change the system time,
the authentication dialog hangs for a while and then System Settings crashes).
One might say, well just use your finger then. But the issue is that I've had
cases when my fingerprint stopped working (e.g. after going climbing). Also, if
password authentication is not supposed work with finger print enabled (which I
think would be wring, password should remain an option) then the user should
not be presented with the password option. In any case it should not just hang
and make things crash.
I believe this is also the cause of this bug 492974
Sorry of this is in the wrong place, feel free to move it where it belongs.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable fingerprint
2. Try to carry out a root action (graphical) >> i.e. one that brings up the
authentication dialog
3. enter the admin password
OBSERVED RESULT
the dialog hangs and the underlying application crashes
EXPECTED RESULT
it should authenticate
