Same thing here on Xubuntu 15.10 upgraded from 15.04 (where I had this annoying dialog occasionally).
There is a "solution" at http://mclements.net/blogWP/index.php/2015/12/11/stop-that-pesky- authorization-dialog/ that, according to my understanding, simply disables the dialog box. It seems to have the desired effect, but I do not understand why, and what side effects it causes, so I disabled it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1512002 Title: Annoying dialog "Authentication is required to change your own user data" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1-gnome/+bug/1512002/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
