Hello Brian, or anyone else affected, Accepted apport into groovy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/2.20.11-0ubuntu50.6 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- groovy to verification-done-groovy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-groovy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu Groovy) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-groovy ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu Focal) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed-focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to policykit-1 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821415 Title: pkexec fails in a non-graphical environment Status in PolicyKit: New Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in apport source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in policykit-1 source package in Focal: Won't Fix Status in apport source package in Groovy: Fix Committed Status in policykit-1 source package in Groovy: Won't Fix Bug description: [Impact] The plymouth apport source package hooks wants to gather log files as the root user and apport provides a policy kit policy for collecting that information.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1821415] Re: pkexec fails in a non-graphical environment
Lubuntu is suffering what seems to be a related failure although I tracked that down to what I thought was a different upstream bug report. In Lubuntu's case the lxqt-policykit-agent suffers a SIGSEGV as a side- affect (I think) of polkit failing to authorise. It was originally discovered when, using the GUI, an additional user was added with 'sudo' membership. This broke the subsequent ability of the new user to make any user account changes via the GUI because they'd get an authentication challenge and then failure. That failure seems to exercise a rarely followed code path that causes the SIGSEGV, and is likely unrelated to the underlying policykit issue. That new 'sudo' member is also prevented from using privileged tools like "gparted". bug #1828663 "policykit failures due to internal user id mismatch" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to policykit-1 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821415 Title: pkexec fails in a non-graphical environment Status in PolicyKit: New Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: The plymouth apport source package hooks wants to gather log files as the root user and apport provides a policy kit policy for collecting that information.
