Here is one method to see the dialog without working remotely: sudo sed 's/<allow_active>yes/<allow_active>auth_self/' -i /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.accounts.policy Then press Alt+Ctrl+F2 to switch to vt2, and Alt+Ctrl+F7 to switch back to vt7.
After testing, to revert the change, run: sudo sed 's/<allow_active>auth_self/<allow_active>yes/' -i /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.accounts.policy On LTSP thin clients, one can reproduce it by just changing VTs, without changing the accountsservice polkit files. -- 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/accountsservice/+bug/1512002/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
