** Changed in: policykit-1-gnome (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Invalid
** Changed in: indicator-messages (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Invalid
** Description changed:
+ * Impact
+
+ Sometimes useless "Authentication is required to change your own user
+ data" prompts are displayed
+
+ * Test case
+
+ <install openssh-server>
+ $ ssh -X localhost
+ $ /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 &
+ $ dbus-send --system --print-reply=literal --dest=org.freedesktop.Accounts
/org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1001
org.freedesktop.Accounts.User.SetXHasMessages boolean:true
+
+ that shouldn't trigger a prompt
+
+ * Regression potential
+
+ it allows the change to be done without prompting in more cases,
+ shouldn't have an impact on cases which were already working
+
+
+ ----------------------
+
Every few days a dialog pops up saying "Authentication is required to change
your own user data" with an entry field for a password. If I type my user's
password the dialog will reappear with an empty entry field. If I click on the
cross to close the window many times it will be gone, but reappear a few days
later. I don't know what this window is for and it makes no difference whether
I close it or leave it. I don't use the gnome keyring.
This started with Ubuntu 15.04 or maybe with an earlier release, and is still
there in Ubuntu 15.10, also on machines I did a fresh install.
