Bug ID: 452223
Summary: it is impossible to close kde partition manager until
root permissions are granted
Product: partitionmanager
Version: 21.12.2
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: andr...@stikonas.eu
Reporter: federicocalzon...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
once the program is started, root permissions are requested. At this point it
is not possible to close the program until the password is entered. it is
impossible to close the window that requires root permissions, and consequently
it is impossible to close the other windows as they wait for the user to enter
the password to grant permissions.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start KDE partition manager from Application Launcher
2. Click Cancel or the "X" in the window asking for root permission
OBSERVED RESULT
the window does not close and permissions are requested again
EXPECTED RESULT
since permissions have not been given the program should close

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I think it is possible to solve another bug (
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312325 ) at the same time with a simple
fix: similarly to G-Parted, before starting the program ask for permissions. if
they are guaranteed then start the program otherwise terminate the process. By
doing so, the permissions window will always be in the foreground
