dup *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 629406 *** I don't think this is a duplicate. It is a different password dialog using a different backend. kdesu and policykit are no the same thing. Created attachment 420041 [details]
Policykit dialog
Here is the dialog I am talking about. If you compare this to the dialog in the other bug report, they are definitely different dialogs.
Further, policykit (which this dialog uses) and sudo (which the other dialog uses) are not the same thing.
So I don't think this is a duplicate.
Yes you are probably right. Sorry for not seeing the difference directly. Reopening. I can confirm this behaviour for two different updated 11.4 machines. A similar (but not identical) issue is visible for the energy settings: If I tell KDE to dim the screen after 10 minutes, I get a request for the root password. This entry is not stored, I havbe the same request again and again after the next 10 mins. even within the same user session. *** Bug 704805 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** From the duplicate report/the corresponding upstream report (for the font installer) which confirms that this a openSUSE bug: Editing /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/org.kde.fontinst.manage.pkla, and changing this from: [org.kde.fontinst.manage] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.kde.fontinst.manage ResultAny=auth_admin ResultInactive=auth_admin ResultActive=auth_admin ------ To: [org.kde.fontinst.manage] Identity=unix-user:* Action=org.kde.fontinst.manage ResultAny=auth_admin ResultInactive=auth_admin ResultActive=auth_admin_keep Fixes the issue on openSUSE 11.4 for me. I've no idea where this org.kde.fontinst.manage.pkla comes from, or why ResultActive was not set to auth_admin_keep - which is what it should (and needs to) be. This bug still occurs with openSUSE 12.1 RC1. auth_admin_keep is a different beast. then polkit remembers that user $FOO is admin for this - this bug talks about the checkbox in the polkit-kde dialog. And the checkbox is simply bogus as polkit does not support keeping passwords. If the user has set auth_admin, the user has to auth - *every* time. *** Bug 688267 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** swamp id please also covering 732955 s/swamp id/approval/ ok for online update?
