Public bug reported: This concerns colord 1.4.4-2 in Ubuntu focal. (xiccd 0.3.0-1 may also be relevant.)
I log into the Xfce desktop environment, and immediately see an "Authenticate" window pop up: Authentication is required to create a color managed device Password for root: ________ Action: org.freedesktop.color-manager.create-device Vendor: System Color Manager I see this in syslog: Apr 8 05:38:30 test-ubuntu64 dbus-daemon[573]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.ColorManager' unit='colord.service' requested by ':1.35' (uid=1000 pid=1475 comm="xiccd " label="unconfined") This prompt is confusing to ordinary users, and I do not understand why it should even be necessary. ** Affects: colord (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: focal -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871593 Title: User receives prompt on login: "Authentication is required to create a color managed device" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/colord/+bug/1871593/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
