[Bug 929506] New: Policy Kit opens the authorization dialogue window in the wrong account
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=929506 Bug ID: 929506 Summary: Policy Kit opens the authorization dialogue window in the wrong account Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: 13.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 13.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace Assignee: kde-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: stakanov@freenet.de QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Policy Kit opens the authorization dialogue not in the active user but in "one of the open sessions" waiting for root password to mount an usb-key. Standard installation of opensuse 13.2 Create several users e.g. A, B, C, D Open these users in sequence. Change e.g. from user B, to C, To A and finally to D. Insert an usb-key while user D is active and open and the other sessions are in background. The authorization request for the root password will open in the wrong user-personality. Only going there, then closing there the request, going back to the user D in question, will make you find the correct authorization window. There does not seem to be a pattern to foresee where the authorization request will pop up. What happens: user waits for the authorization window to occur but it opens in a wrong personality. What should happen: the authorization request should be presented to the user who did actually insert the usb-key. Reproducible: stable, always. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
