Public bug reported:
When logged into a Ubuntu 12.04.2 server through x2go, I attempted to
use the gnome-disk-utility (palimpsest from gnome-disk-utility
3.0.2-2ubuntu7) to unlock a luks encrypted filesystem on a removable
device. I got the error "Incorrect Passphrase. Try again" even though I
was using the correct passphrase (which I could use with "cryptsetup
luksOpen" as root).
I believe the real reason I couldn't unlock the device with gnome-
diskutility was that the default policykit org.freedesktop.udisks.policy
only allows luks-unlock for "active" users. The policy is reasonable,
but gnome-disk-utility should distinguish unlock failures because of
insufficient permissions from "incorrect password".
