[Bug 749453] New: Changing the timezone via world clock requires root password
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=749453 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=749453#c0 Summary: Changing the timezone via world clock requires root password Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 12.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: gp@suse.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Product Management Blocker: --- How to reproduce: 1. Invoke the world clock 2. Make sure there are at least two timezones, adding one if needed 3. Select "Set..." for a currently non-selected timezone in the "Locations" list. 4. Watch a dialog "To change time or date settings, you need to authenticate" and "Password for root" pop up. This is really not usable for non-expert users, who have their machines configured and maintained the geeks among us, but want to roam (to other timezones, other wireless networks, the printers there -- think going on vacation abroad). Can we please make the default more non-geek friendly? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yeah, apparently, some IP address(es) from the Nürnberg offices are blacklisted, I think darix is already aware of this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Do we want to do a maintenance update for 12.1 with the patch?
I think that would be great. (And it does address a regression.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

A backported patch to 12.1 gnome-control-center has been applied on g-c-c in a specially prepared branch: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dimstar:/branches:/openSUSE:... Gerald, Please test if this package works for you. If it does, I will gladly forward it for consideration into maintenance. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

After rereading comment 0 I'm actually starting to wonder if we understood your report right.
Just to cross-check, what I did to change time: - Gnome-control-center - Date and time - Choose on the map a new location.
Can you confirm we talk about the same thing here?
I have two answers to that. :-) First, I now tried this, and it does not work for me. That is, I do have to enter the root password when changing the timezone and I verified that I have libgnome-control-center1-3.2.1-2.10.1.x86_64 gnome-control-center-3.2.1-2.10.1.x86_64 gnome-control-center-user-faces-3.2.1-2.10.1.x86_64 gnome-control-center-branding-openSUSE-12.1-3.2.1.noarch Is there anything I may be missing? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This seems to have become a problem with 12.3 again...
Should I open a new bug?
We already have bug 796059 for this... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
