I'm also affected on Ubuntu 25.10. In the interim, here is one narrowly-scoped workaround that works on my machine. (No warranty of merchantability/fitness, use at your own discretion, etc. etc.)
``` sudo tee /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/40-gdm-accounts.rules << 'EOF' // Workaround for Ubuntu Bug #2134405 // GDM's gsd-xsettings tries to set input sources via AccountsService on login screen, // which requires admin auth. This allows GDM to do so without prompting. // https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2134405 // // Safe to remove once Ubuntu ships an official fix. polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) { if (action.id == "org.freedesktop.accounts.user-administration" && subject.isInGroup("gdm") && subject.local && subject.active) { return polkit.Result.YES; } return undefined; }); EOF ``` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2134405 Title: GDM greeter asks for authentication when switch user To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/2134405/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
