If they cancel the dialog in that time then the program will work as they are successfully authenticated. The reason for this is that if the SIGCHLD handler is called before the stdout one it unregisters the stdout handler, so it is never triggered, and that is the only way that a response is sent, positive or negative, except for cancelling. I'm attaching a patch which works around this in most cases by giving the stdout handler a chance to go first. You may prefer to reorganise a bit to not have one handler remove the other instead. It also ensures that the stdout handler is registered first, in case the child exits very quickly, but I don't know if that's possible. I'm also attaching a couple of other patches I produced in the course of investigating this that might be of interest. They fix theoretical problems, but they may never occur in the real world.

Thanks. I can't easily check this either, as I can't reproduce it at will. I've looked at the changes you make, and textually these won't apply, but I don't see that they will have fixed the race here, unless the g_source functions will somehow ensure that the stdout watch is serviced before the child one?

[Bug 445303] Re: policykit-1 password dialog sometimes hangs
Only got this bug on amd64, the i386 are not affected. In update-manager and synaptic i cannot refresh the package list and got no download. The window still hang, the server test in both programs works well. Update with aptitude works well. After this happening more gksudo events like network-manager config are affected, nothing happens if the pass are entered. The ppa policykit package did not help here. e...@themis:~$ pkill -f polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 e...@themis:~$ /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:9313): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `_PolkitError' (polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:9313): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed -- policykit-1 password dialog sometimes hangs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Still present in Lucid with today's updates (Dec. 18th 2009). Testing in Time & Date by clicking on "Click to make changes" Clicking on the Cancel without entering anything works by closing the window. Clicking on the Authenticate button with no or wrong password yields "Authentication failure" aka correct behaviour. I type in the password (which is right) and either hit Enter or click on the Authenticate button. The Password input field disappears but the window does not validate nor close itself. (when i typed wrong password before the line with "Authentication failure" remains visible") Clicking on the Cancel nor Authenticate buttons does not work at this stage. Closing the window with the X works as validation. -- policykit-1 password dialog sometimes hangs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Not a release blocker, it doesn't affect update-manager any more and not easily reproducible.
