users-admin knows nothing about this authentication dialog, it's run by PolicyKit-gnome. So the bug must affect all dialogs. You should report this to upstream if you really want it to be fixed. ** Package changed: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) = policykit-gnome (Ubuntu) ** Changed in:

I'd say let's just install ntpd by default, and stop running ntpdate automatically, because it 1) only runs when (re)connecting, which is kind of misleading and not correct on servers and 2) isn't currently reported in the GUI as automated Internet time sync, while it's actually doing this in the

Yeah, this is because of the way the system-tools-backends and liboobs are designed: oobs_object_authenticate() is a synchronous call. I don't think this will be fixed since the gnome-system-tools are deprecated in favor of GNOME3's control center - unless you redesign the whole API *or* introduce

I suspect you don't have a PolicyKit authentication agent running. What's the output of: ps ax|grep polkit And does running /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication- agent-1 solve the problem? The fact that nor error is reported is another issue, but I don't think it will be fixed

It should be started when you log in, most likely you disabled it from System-Preferences-Startup applications. Closing because it's not a bug, the PolicyKit authentication agent should never be disabled. We could show an error message, but it's not going to happen in users-admin. ** Changed in:
