[opensuse] Authentication is required to mount /dev/loop0
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.

Next time when you see it record and provide output of ps -fwwp 29959,2350 or whatever PIDs are listed. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks, Andrei. Last time was just this past Saturday, 21 Jan. Issuing the ps command now returns the following: ~> ps -fwwp 29959,2350 UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 2350 1 0 Jan16 ? 00:06:39 /usr/lib/udisks2/udisksd --no-debug user 29959 29955 0 Jan19 ? 00:00:23 kded5 [kdeinit5] and just in case, for reference . . . ps -fwwp 29955,1 UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 1 0 0 Jan16 ? 00:00:25 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd --system --deserialize 52 user 29955 1 0 Jan19 ? 00:00:05 kdeinit5: Running... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

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

Thanks, Ken. I do indeed have an ISO repo configured. I've disabled it and will report back results. --dg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
