Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-samba-1.2.91-2.fc15.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use desktop-effects to go to fallback mode ( GNOME2) 2. from terminal system-config-samba 3. Actual results: Authorization Error The authorization needed for 'org.fedoraproject.config.samba.configure' could not be obtained. The application will exit now. Expected results: To see window for root password Additional info: Ok in gnome-shell Same as Bug 684565 - Gnome2 - Unable to mount - Authentication is require ?
This looks like a side-effect of switching from gnome3 shell to the gnome3 fallback mode (and would be the same cause as bug #684565 then). Is the authentication agent running when you have this issue? Please run this command to check and post its output here: pgrep -lf authentication
