For me the issue about getting duplicate names in the output was due to the fact that my user was in both the "admin" and "sudo" group. Seems like polkit first lists all user from the sudo group, then all users from the admin group; not checking if the same user was listed twice.
so after a quick sudo gpasswd -d $USER admin The duplicate no longer appear. Hope this information is helpful. //Rikard -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to policykit-1 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1451815 Title: lists users multiple time when requiring user authentication Status in policykit-1 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: To reproduce systemctl restart <some unit> ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units === Authentication is required to manage system services or units.
