I would get rid of greying out these buttons completely. You will never know whether the user is able to authenticate as admin, because you cannot know whether the user knows the password of an admin account if you do not ask for it. In all cases where the buttons are greyed out, but the user would know how to authenticate, this will create frustration.
Furthermore, there is no advantage of having the buttons greyed out. If you want to signal to the user that they require more rights, you can put a lock symbol on them (isn't there an example in the time settings dialogue for this?). This solution would be the easiest to implement and to use. -- 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
