Not enabling interactivity is no longer the problem. If you read comment #17 and check out the latest code in the linked branch, you'll see what I mean. The problem is that polkit responds with "no, but you can authenticate" (or something like it) also for standard users. Seems like it says "no, but you can authenticate by providing the credentials for an admin user". And that's not what we want to know, is it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1008344 Title: checks "admin" group membership instead of querying polkit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/+bug/1008344/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
