** Description changed:
+ This SRU request is to resolve a number of budgie-polkit-dialog crashes
+ reported to the UB team through
+ https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/64efb30df94e62a4f216cfdb387d6e2d3eb12048.
+
+ Changelog summary for Bionic and Cosmic SRU - also see the debdiffs for
+ cosmic and bionic in the master SRU LP: #1824229
+
+ [Impact]
+
+ * Issue 1: Aim to resolve a number of polkit crashes reported on
errors.ubuntu.com due
+ to Polkit dialogs still having an open process when dismissed
+
+ This backports a disco patch to both series targets. Whilst ack that
+ 19.04 has not been released, examining errors.ubuntu.com
+ (https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/64efb30df94e62a4f216cfdb387d6e2d3eb12048)
+ shows just one reported polkit issues to-date.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ * Issue 1: polkit crashes. This bug is very difficult to pin down and
reliably reproduce.
+ It is surmised by examining the crash reports that the budgie polkit
process is crashing due to window close down and memory cleanup areas.
+ - Run pkexec gnome-calculator from a terminal.
+ - Press cancel on the authentication dialog. Note that the terminal
prompt is not redisplayed indicating that the polkit dialog is still active but
hidden. Press CTRL+C to force a quit.
+ - To upgrade budgie-desktop on 18.04 - Enable the proposed channel.
Install the following packages: budgie-core budgie-desktop gir1.2-budgie-1.0
libbudgie-plugin0 libbudgietheme0 libraven0
+ - To upgrade budgie-desktop on 18.10 - Enable the proposed channel.
Install the following packages: budgie-core budgie-desktop gir1.2-budgie-1.0
libbudgie-plugin0 libbudgietheme0 libraven0 libbudgie-private0
+ - Repeat pkexec gnome-calculator and press cancel. The terminal prompt is
redisplayed indicating that the polkit dialog has been successfully closed.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ * Issue 1: Due to the nature of the crashes observed (unexplained
+ crashes in glib, wnck libraries), it is highly unlikely that this fix
+ alone will resolve all polkit issues. In terms of regression the number
+ of "system error" prompts with a polkit headline after a reboot and
+ login will be either the same or reduced - but such messages can be
+ ticked by a user via the system error dialog to not appear again.
