I'm not sure if it's the same bug or not, but in Ubuntu Lucid there is also a problem similar to this: in gnome-keyboard-properties, when I click on the "Apply System-wide..." button on the Layouts tab, nothing happens. The authentication dialog doesn't show up. When I run the program from a terminal window, clicking on the button triggers the following error message to show up in the terminal:
Caught remote method exception org.freedesktop.DBus.Python.PermissionDeniedError: Permission denied by policy I don't know if this is the same bug or I should file another bug report. -- Authentication always fails trying to set system-wide keyboard settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477956 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
