I change the picture, and click the apply button. I get a password prompt, I click cancel, it appears again, I click cancel, and yet in the end the user picture gets updated. Why???????????????????
Please add exact steps to reproduce. From your description it is unclear if you are changing the pictures in the user account manager, or in the login manager settings.
Exact steps to reproduce: 1. Start System Settings 2. Select Account Details from the Personalization category 3. Select the User Manager tab 4. Click on the picture associated with the user account 5. Select "Choose from Gallery..." 6. Choose a picture 7. Select a region of the image (optional), and click Ok 8. Click Apply in the bottom right corner 9. Get an Authentication Required prompt, click Cancel 10. Get an Authentication Required prompt, click Cancel 11. Get an Authentication Required prompt, click Cancel 12. Congratulations, your picture is changed My questions: 1. Why does it ask for a password to change my picture? 2. Why does it change it when I don't give the password? 3. It asks for the root password, and not my (administrator) account's password. How does this work on distros where there is no root password just sudo? 4. (unrelated) What does the "Administrator" check box do? There is no documentation on any of the options in the System Settings Handbook.
Also trying to change the users own login-password requires the root-password, witch is weird.
I can confirm on neon dev unstable. When I apply the new avatar, user-manager asks for my password. If I cancel the password dialog, user-manager shows the password dialog again two times and apply the new avatar even if I cancel all the three password dialogs.
plasma 5.12.1 is affected.
Experienced the same issue in neon KDE 5.13.5 Changing avatar should not ask for password.
Can confirm it this super annoying issue on: Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.63.0 Qt Version: 5.13.1
Also happens to me after I press apply to change the "full name" of my own account.
