Spurious dialog observed in remote X session on Xenial install with accountservice 0.6.40-2ubuntu10.
Enabled xenial-proposed, installed accountservice 0.6.40-2ubuntu11, and the dialog no longer appears. I wasn't seeing this problem as badly as some other folks here, but for my use case, the proposed fix is VERIFIED. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1512002 Title: Annoying dialog "Authentication is required to change your own user data" Status in accountsservice: Confirmed Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in indicator-messages package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in policykit-1-gnome package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in accountsservice source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Bug description: * Impact Sometimes useless "Authentication is required to change your own user data" prompts are displayed * Test case <install openssh-server> $ ssh -X localhost $ /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 & $ dbus-send --system --print-reply=literal --dest=org.freedesktop.Accounts /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1001 org.freedesktop.Accounts.User.SetXHasMessages boolean:true that shouldn't trigger a prompt * Regression potential it allows the change to be done without prompting in more cases, shouldn't have an impact on cases which were already working ---------------------- Every few days a dialog pops up saying "Authentication is required to change your own user data" with an entry field for a password. If I type my user's password the dialog will reappear with an empty entry field. If I click on the cross to close the window many times it will be gone, but reappear a few days later. I don't know what this window is for and it makes no difference whether I close it or leave it. I don't use the gnome keyring. This started with Ubuntu 15.04 or maybe with an earlier release, and is still there in Ubuntu 15.10, also on machines I did a fresh install.
