Description Kevin Coonan 2014-01-07 23:08:28 UTC 
Senseless "System policies prevent you from getting the brightness level" dialog
Status (marked as "RESOLVED DOWNSTREAM" in another bug report for OS 11).  This happens whenever I need to restart plasma-desktop (which keeps locking up, so I need to kill it and restart, when it isn't being crashed by Chromium).
This is on a desktop workstation where no adjustment of brightness is needed (I have it turn off my monitors when not in use).  Clicking on cancel, or entering root password has no effect, except that "cancel" results in it popping up again.

 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. killall plasma-desktop && plasma-desktop 
Actual Results:  
get a dialog telling me that "An application is attempting to perform an action that requires privileges."

Expected Results:  
No such pop up

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Dear Bug Submitter,

This is a reminder that this bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? This bug will be moved back to REPORTED Status for manual review later, which may take a while. If you are able to, please lend us a hand.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

This was fixed a long time ago.
