Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 13.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Usability AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: carlos.e.r@opensuse.org QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=572909) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=572909) Photo of situation Situation: Freshly installed 13.1 system, XFCE desktop. On request to hibernate from menu, the user is asked for the root's password, but this is presented behind another dialog window, and can not be moved - see attached photo -. User has to blindly type the password hoping it goes to the right place. The situation is absurd for other reasons: the user is in front of the machine, so he can just pull the plug. The seated user should have the privilege to do certain things, as he has to mount devices and such. Further, the user is not asked for permission to power off the machine or reboot it. At worst, if this is a decision to implement this as a security policy, it should be consistent behaviour on halt, reboot, and hibernate; and it should be adjustable in YaST, at least a variable in the /etc/sysconfig directory: ask no permission, ask for root's password, ask for user's password. -- 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.
