Several times over the last month a window has opened on my desktop with the above message. Below the heading it says "An application is attempting to perform an action that requires privileges. Authentication is required to perform this action." It asks for the root password.
Under "Details" it shows: Application: Action: Mount a filesystem on a system device Vendor: The udisks Project polkit.subject-pid: 29959 polkit.caller-pid: 2350
After trying to cancel out of it and having that lock up the desktop, I am providing the root password but of course that makes me nervous.
I have no idea what this is about, never seen it before. AFAICT I haven't done or seen anything running that would cause this. I upgraded to 42.2 about 1-2 months ago.
Google was of no help.
Suggestions?

Check to see if you have a "cd or ISO" repo configured. If so disable it and see if the message goes away. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
