Description m.wege 2010-09-11 13:53:02 UTC

Version:           1.0.1 (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

When applying changes, the user password is requested. Unfortunately one has to select the user (at least in Kubuntu). It would be good, if the current user would be preselected.

Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.35-20-generic-pae
Compiler: cc

I just tried this with the SDDM settings. When I chose the sync option, the polkit agent dialog showed asking only for my password, not a user account.

Is this still valid?

It's still valid for the case of having a multi-user system.

Seems to be working fine in 6.3

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2025-01-15 14:56:18 UTC

For me as well.
