http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1017232 Bug ID: 1017232 Summary: Polkit issue with networkmanager applet and multi-user environment Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 42.2 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE Workspace (Plasma) Assignee: opensuse-kde-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: stakanov@freenet.de QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- This issue appeared after updating to 42.2 from 42.1 (where 42.1 was a fresh install at the time). Take a system, create three users (can also be with less or more, not proven however). User A is creating a wlan connection that does not belong to all user but only to A. Other user shall not have the right to manipulate this connection. Start User B once A is active and the wireless connect is active. When user B starts up, it will ask for the root password in order to take control of the network. But it shouldn't ask! The Wlan connection is there, it works, network is up. There has been no request for additional services by this user (like VPN) ergo it should not see any necessity to ask for the root password. Still one time at the beginning of the session it pops up. When you start up user C, this sometimes happens. But not always. I have yet not seen any reasonable pattern to distinguish when it decides to do it and when not. Polkit should make sure that you have a sensible and working authorization network within ever user and should not ask for root Password when a network connection is already on and usable to that user. In this specific case the request comes from networkmanager applet in the system tray (which shows wrongly buy the way that I am connected to all users in the list of available networks. If I am connected or not (maybe this is an unrelated regression). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
