It seems that it is now up to the Ubuntu's package maintainer to apply it to Ubuntu. ** Bug watch added: github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues #546 https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues/546 ** Also affects: udisks via https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/issues/546 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Project changed: udisks => udisks2 (Ubuntu) ** Tags added: has-patch ** Tags added: fixed-upstream ** Tags removed: fixed-upstream has-patch ** Tags added: regression-release -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-disk-utility in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1779238 Title: Mouting a disk or iso image asks for sudo password Status in GNOME Disks: Expired Status in gnome-disk-utility package in Ubuntu: New Status in udisks2 package in Ubuntu: Unknown Bug description: This issue is simple to reproduce on a fresh 18.04 install: - right click an iso image and select "Open with disk image mounter" (or double click as it is the default action) and/or: - issue the command `gnome-disk-image-mounter image.iso` The resulting is a dialog asking for the user's password and the message "Authentification is required to modify the loop device /dev/loop22" It is a show stopper for me as I use gnome-disk-image-mounter in an automated way.
