It seems that the wrong username is passed to /usr/lib/policykit-1 /polkit-agent-helper-1.
I'm logged in as user bruno.leon (LDAP), but when I'm prompted to auth, what I can see in the process list is: /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1 nono cookie4 nono being the local user on /etc/passwd with id 1000. If I remove the user from /etc/passwd, then the process list shows: /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1 root cookie5 Looks like ubuntu is getting the username from somewhere (may be passwd... can't say for sure) when it should simply pass $USERNAME I think. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/892680 Title: PAM with LDAP breaks authentication to Policykit enabled Gnome applications using LDAP credentials To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/policykit-1/+bug/892680/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
