Bug ID: 398367
Summary: Authentication dialog does not accept password of
admin user on root-locked Ubuntu-based system
Product: policykit-kde-agent-1
Version: 5.13.5
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1
Assignee: jrez...@redhat.com
Reporter: spammonster2...@hotmail.com
CC: neon-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Neon user edition
polkit-kde-agent-1/xenial,now 4:5.13.5-0xneon+16.04+xenial+build64 amd64
To reproduce:
- In a limited user account session, open software updates in discover.
- Click "Update All"
- Enter password of admin/sudo user
Expected:
Dialog takes the admin/sudo user password to unlock privileges.
Actual:
Dialog asks "Password for root:", shows Authentication failure when the admin
user password is entered. This won't work on Ubuntu because the root user is
locked by default.
This bug makes updating through discover software updates impossible on KDE
Neon (in a standard user session).
