Description

After a reboot, polkit appears to be behaving again, and I can see the original (wrong user) behaviour again. When I successfully authenticate by giving the wrong user's password, /var/log/secure says: Jul 26 21:03:17 i7 polkitd[1598]: Operator of unix-session:3 successfully authenticated as unix-user:dwoodhou to gain TEMPORARY authorization for action org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.all-edit for unix-process:4858:855655 [gnome-control-center --overview] (owned by unix-user:dwmw2) This happens when virt-manager is asking for "my" password too. I have "fixed" this issue by adding my dwmw2 account to the wheel group. Apparently it is "expected" behaviour, that polkit/gnome-shell will ask for the password of some *other* user just because that user happens to be in the wheel group, rather than asking for the root password. This is bizarre and wrong! This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
