Just tested on Intrepid with policykit: Installed: 0.9-1ubuntu1.
Tried the following:
sudo passwd <myuser> -e
(Now the password is expired)
started time-admin, pressed unlock and entered my current, but expired,
password. About 20 sec later an error window comes up with the content
"Could not autenticate - An unexpected error has occured". This window
can be closed. X and all applications continue working, the only window
hanging is the policykit one titled "Authenticate".
** Changed in: policykit-gnome (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
** Summary changed:
- PolicyKit hangs X if a password expires during the session
+ PolicyKit hangs if a password expires during the session
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: policykit-gnome
- if you set your password to expire
+ Testcase:
- sudo passwd john -e
-
- (which will set it to expire after 10 days)
-
- and then use an application with an "Unlock" button, X hangs.
-
- Please note that I am not a programmer so am unable to answer further
- technical details.
