Description Jia Zhaocong 2024-03-22 04:37:23 UTC

## Observation

gnome-software is update in build 67.1.

Now when logging into gnome desktop for the first time, additional authentication is asked by gnome-software on "modify a system repository".

This only happen in SLES+WE, not SLED.

openQA test in scenario sle-15-SP6-Online-x86_64-create_hdd_gnome+we@64bit fails in
[first_boot](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/13829676/modules/first_boot/steps/9)

## Test suite description
image creation job used as parent for other jobs testing based on existing installation. To be used as `START_AFTER_TEST=create_hdd_gnome+we`


## Reproducible

Fails since (at least) Build [67.1](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/13829676) (current job)


## Expected result

Last good: [64.2](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/13794035) (or more recent)


## Further details

Always latest result in this scenario: [latest](https://openqa.suse.de/tests/latest?arch=x86_64&distri=sle&flavor=Online&machine=64bit&test=create_hdd_gnome%2Bwe&version=15-SP6)

Hi Jonathan, this smells very similar of what you have done with gnome-software upstream for non-interactive background change:

https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1221843

I guess the new update of gnome-software might ask for more service authentication than what you once handled. Can you help to dig into it?
Thanks.

Comment 3 Yifan Jiang 2024-03-22 08:10:41 UTC

Hi Zhaocong,

Would you try to manually remove flatpak-remote-flathub on the system, and see if the dialog is gone? This package will be taken out shortly after a maintenance update acceptance:

https://build.suse.de/request/show/324326

If this works out, we probably want to keep gnome-software sanitized by now.

Comment 4 Jia Zhaocong 2024-03-22 09:01:10 UTC

The permission requested is "org.freedesktop.Flatpak.modify-repo".

There's no auth pop-up if we remove flatpak-remote-flathub.

Comment 5 Yifan Jiang 2024-03-25 01:17:34 UTC

The dialog should not be there by default when Antonio's submission is accepted:

https://build.suse.de/request/show/324481

I assume this is sufficient by now, so closing the bug.
