STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go to SDDM settings 2. select "Synchronize settings" 3. confirm with "Synchronize" button 4. A dialog to enter user password opens, but... OBSERVED RESULT It disappears in ~3 seconds regardless of whether user enters the password. And the synchronization won't continue. EXPECTED RESULT User is able to enter the password and synchronization is done. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78 Qt Version: 5.15.2
Hmm, works for me.
Could you retest with the new systemd startup enabled? I had it enabled before but after I disabled it, I don't have this issue anymore.
The same issue is also present when trying to save a file that requires user password, e.g. /etc/fstab.
Please confirm if polkit-kde-agent1 is running. This was broken with the systemd boot in the beta but is fixed in master
If you mean polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1 then yes, otherwise no.
Yes, that. Thanks
Job for plasma-polkit-agent.service failed because a timeout was exceeded. See "systemctl --user status plasma-polkit-agent.service" and "journalctl --user -xe" for details. Aha. So it starts, systemd thinks it didn't, and then kills it.
I believe this is fixed in master *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 431963 ***
