Public bug reported: After upgrading Ubuntu from 14.04.3 to 16.04.1, every legitimation request (eg. from update-manager) shows a greyed-out password box.
However, if I use the user dropdown to switch to another user, the password field gets enabled. It stays enabled if I switch back to my own user. I can enter the password then and it is accepted as intended. Hint: As I use a gnome-flashback session, the bug may have to do with focus management. I noticed that the legitimation request password box is greyed out if the window openes without focus. ** Affects: policykit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1613643 Title: Legitimation request starts with disabled password field To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit/+bug/1613643/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
