Title:
Mouting a disk or iso image asks for sudo password

Status in udisks2 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in udisks2 source package in Bionic:
Fix Released
Bug description:
* Impact
Users are prompted for an admin password to mount iso or disk images
* Test case
- right click an iso image and select "Open with disk image mounter" (or
double click as it is the default action)
-> the image should be mounted
* Regression potential
Make sure disks and images handling in the desktop still works
-------------------------
This issue is simple to reproduce on a fresh 18.04 install:
- right click an iso image and select "Open with disk image mounter"
(or double click as it is the default action)
and/or:
- issue the command `gnome-disk-image-mounter image.iso`
The resulting is a dialog asking for the user's password and the
message "Authentification is required to modify the loop device
/dev/loop22"
It is a show stopper for me as I use gnome-disk-image-mounter in an
automated way.
