Package: gnome-shell Version: 3.26.2-4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When there are multiple admininstrator users (set-up using Gnome Settings -> Users) who are in the sudo group, the authentication dialog that prompts for superuser access only displays the option to authenticate as the first admin user. Steps to reproduce: 1. On a clean sid install, create two aditional users in GNOME settings. One user should be an Administrator, while the other should be a Standard user. Set their passwords when creating the account. 2. Reboot and log on as the standard user 3. Try install software from GNOME Software. The authentication dialog will only show the original user for authentication I expected some clear way to change the user I wish to authenticate as so that I could authenticate as any admin user. I have not changed the default polkit config and so all users in the sudo group are admin users in polkit's eyes. Verifying using groups indicates that both admin users are in the sudo group. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_ZA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_ZA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_ZA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gnome-shell depends on: ii caribou 0.4.21-4 ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.26.1-3 ii evolution-data-server 3.26.3-4 ii gir1.2-accountsservice-1.0 0.6.45-1 ii gir1.2-atspi-2.0 2.26.2-2 ii gir1.2-caribou-1.0 0.4.21-4 ii gir1.2-freedesktop 1.54.1-4 ii gir1.2-gcr-3 3.20.0-6 ii gir1.2-gdesktopenums-3.0 3.24.1-2 ii gir1.2-gdm-1.0 3.26.2.1-3 ii gir1.2-geoclue-2.0 2.4.7-1 ii gir1.2-glib-2.0 1.54.1-4 ii gir1.2-gnomebluetooth-1.0 3.26.1-2 ii gir1.2-gnomedesktop-3.0 3.26.2-4 ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.22.26-2 ii gir1.2-gweather-3.0 3.26.1-2 ii gir1.2-ibus-1.0 1.5.17-3 ii gir1.2-mutter-1 3.26.2-1 ii gir1.2-nm-1.0 1.10.2-4 ii gir1.2-nma-1.0 1.8.10-2 ii gir1.2-pango-1.0 1.40.14-1 ii gir1.2-polkit-1.0 0.105-18 ii gir1.2-rsvg-2.0 2.40.20-2 ii gir1.2-soup-2.4 2.60.3-1 ii gir1.2-upowerglib-1.0 0.99.7-1 ii gjs 1.50.3-1 ii gnome-backgrounds 3.26.2-2 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.26.2-1 ii gnome-shell-common 3.26.2-4 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.24.1-2 ii libasound2 1.1.3-5 ii libatk-bridge2.0-0 2.26.1-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.26.1-3 ii libc6 2.26-5 ii libcairo2 1.15.8-3 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.30-6 ii libcanberra0 0.30-6 ii libcroco3 0.6.12-2 ii libecal-1.2-19 3.26.3-4 ii libedataserver-1.2-22 3.26.3-4 ii libgcr-base-3-1 3.20.0-6 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.11-1 ii libgirepository-1.0-1 1.54.1-4 ii libgjs0g [libgjs0-libmozjs-52-0] 1.50.3-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.54.3-2 ii libglib2.0-bin 2.54.3-2 ii libgstreamer1.0-0 1.12.4-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.22.26-2 ii libical3 3.0.1-5 ii libjson-glib-1.0-0 1.4.2-3 ii libmutter-1-0 3.26.2-1 ii libnm0 1.10.2-4 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.14-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.14-1 ii libpolkit-agent-1-0 0.105-18 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-18 ii libpulse-mainloop-glib0 11.1-4 ii libpulse0 11.1-4 ii libsecret-1-0 0.18.5-5 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-5 ii libsystemd0 236-3+b1 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.3-1 ii mutter 3.26.2-1 ii python3 3.6.4-1 Versions of packages gnome-shell recommends: ii chrome-gnome-shell 9-2 ii gdm3 3.26.2.1-3 ii gkbd-capplet 3.26.0-2 ii gnome-control-center 1:3.26.2-1 ii gnome-user-docs 3.26.2.1-1 ii iio-sensor-proxy 2.2-1 ii switcheroo-control 1.2-1 ii unzip 6.0-21 Versions of packages gnome-shell suggests: ii gir1.2-telepathyglib-0.12 0.24.1-1.1 ii gir1.2-telepathylogger-0.2 0.8.2-2 -- no debconf information
