Moving to nautilus, as PolicyKit itself provides a way to know whether authentication was canceled or whether it failed. See POLKIT_ERROR_CANCELLED, which is the GError returned by polkit_authority_check_authorization_finish(), at http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/polkit/polkit-1-polkiterror.html.
So the problem may be with Nautilus not checking that value, or with the backend that Nautilus calls not returning that value as a special case. In the first case, that's a paper cut, in the latter, it's more complex. ** Package changed: policykit-1-gnome (Ubuntu) => nautilus (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- pressing CANCEL in policykit super user "mount dialog" shows silly error message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543042 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
