Here's another way to reproduce it: <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
It doesn't make sense to have the user authenticate himself just to tell him he has new mail. This affects gnome-screensaver, lightdm's user switching ability, X2go, LTSP etc. Please replace the "auth_self" with "yes" as in the provided patch. ** Patch added: "change-own-user-data.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1512002/+attachment/4632965/+files/change-own-user-data.patch -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
