How do I figure out which application tripped the policy and then resulted in the dialog?
In my case the unclickable dialog happens on my Desktop PC booting into my Ubuntu 20.04. No VM, no remote connection, no xRPD involved, no new software installed, no torrents, and downloaded nothing. I have several virtual networks created by docker, but this setup worked for years until a few days ago. The only change was that I added a new SSD to the system on top of existing ones, formatted to ext4, but it's not even in fstab yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1824874 Title: undismissable, unclickable authentication dialog left on screen (top- left corner) after policykit authentication [pushModal: invocation of begin_modal failed] Status in GNOME Shell: Unknown Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: In disco, when policykit prompted me for a password in order for update-manager to dispatch instructions to aptdaemon to perform package updates, the password dialog remained on the screen after I clicked 'authenticate'. The window is not clickable, it appears not to even be a window - mouse presses are received by the window underneath. The exception is that the 'cancel' button is active and receives mouse events - but clicking it does nothing. This may be a gnome-shell issue rather than policykit.
