Public bug reported:
This concerns colord 1.4.4-2 in Ubuntu focal. (xiccd 0.3.0-1 may also be
relevant.)
I log into the Xfce desktop environment, and immediately see an
"Authenticate" window pop up:
Authentication is required to create a color managed device
Password for root: ________
Action: org.freedesktop.color-manager.create-device
Vendor: System Color Manager
I see this in syslog:
Apr 8 05:38:30 test-ubuntu64 dbus-daemon[573]: [system] Activating
via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.ColorManager'
unit='colord.service' requested by ':1.35' (uid=1000 pid=1475
comm="xiccd " label="unconfined")
This prompt is confusing to ordinary users, and I do not understand why
it should even be necessary.
