[Impact]
* Issue 1: Aim to resolve a number of polkit crashes reported on
errors.ubuntu.com due
to Polkit dialogs still having an open process when dismissed
This backports a disco patch to both series targets. Whilst ack
that 19.04 has not been released, examining errors.ubuntu.com
(https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/64efb30df94e62a4f216cfdb387d6e2d3eb12048)
shows just one reported polkit issues to-date.
[Test Case]
* Issue 1: polkit crashes. This bug is very difficult to pin down and
reliably reproduce.
It is surmised by examining the crash reports that the budgie polkit
process is crashing due to window close down and memory cleanup areas.
- Run pkexec gnome-calculator from a terminal.
- Press cancel on the authentication dialog. Note that the terminal
prompt is not redisplayed indicating that the polkit dialog is still active but
hidden. Press CTRL+C to force a quit.
- To upgrade budgie-desktop on 18.04 - Enable the proposed channel.
Install the following packages: budgie-core budgie-desktop gir1.2-budgie-1.0
libbudgie-plugin0 libbudgietheme0 libraven0
- To upgrade budgie-desktop on 18.10 - Enable the proposed channel.
Install the following packages: budgie-core budgie-desktop gir1.2-budgie-1.0
libbudgie-plugin0 libbudgietheme0 libraven0 libbudgie-private0
- Repeat pkexec gnome-calculator and press cancel. The terminal prompt is
redisplayed indicating that the polkit dialog has been successfully closed.
[Regression Potential]
* Issue 1: Due to the nature of the crashes observed (unexplained
crashes in glib, wnck libraries), it is highly unlikely that this fix
alone will resolve all polkit issues. In terms of regression the
number of "system error" prompts with a polkit headline after a reboot
and login will be either the same or reduced - but such messages can
be ticked by a user via the system error dialog to not appear again.
