Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of Nautilus is available on Maverick and we are wondering if this bug is still an issue for you with that version? Could you please test and comment back?

I tried "sudo killall polkitd" and that wasn't enough to repro it, it stills opens the drive mounted using some cached password. I also tried using the guest session but then the external drive doesn't show up under Places at all. -- pressing CANCEL in policykit super user "mount dialog" shows silly error message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543042 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
[Bug 543042] Re: pressing CANCEL in policykit super user "mount dialog" shows silly error message
Martin: I guess you can simply run 'sudo killall polkitd', and it will forget your authentication. One would have to check whether gvfs actually redirects POLKIT_ERROR_CANCELLED to G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED, and if so, then add it to the ignore case in Nautilus. Or simply add that condition in Nautilus, and see if it works! If it's not the case, it would be worth considering canceled authentication as G_IO_ERROR_FAILED_HANDLED, which seems to be intended for this case. -- pressing CANCEL in policykit super user "mount dialog" shows silly error message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543042 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
[Bug 543042] Re: pressing CANCEL in policykit super user "mount dialog" shows silly error message
I found some more clues concerning this bug. @Milan, first I suppose the communication here happens "nautilus <--> GVFS <--> policykit". I can see that the "nautilus" package depends on the "gvfs" package which in turn depends on the "policykit-1-gnome" package. When I grep in the "policykit-1-gnome" package source I find one reference to the string "OLKIT_ERROR". Also, from grepping in the nautilus code, I believe that the silly message dialog originates from this place: nautilus-2.29.92.1/libnautilus-private/nautilus-file- operations.c:2306 The nautilus code says "show error for all error codes except G_IO_ERROR_FAILED_HANDLED", but that means it does show an error message for the error code "G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED". I don't know which error code is actually being handed to nautilus here, I'm just speculating based on the GIO docs: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/unstable/gio-GIOError.html#GIOErrorEnum It would be interesting to put some debug statements into this source location or maybe some breakpoints. However, in that case I must be able to repro this bug which I can't right now. Because policykit has now cached my password so I'm not prompted for it anymore when I open Places::DiskDrive. How can I make policykit forget this cached password so I get the password prompt again? -- pressing CANCEL in policykit super user "mount dialog" shows silly error message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543042 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
[Bug 543042] Re: pressing CANCEL in policykit super user "mount dialog" shows silly error message
Moving to nautilus, as PolicyKit itself provides a way to know whether authentication was canceled or whether it failed. See POLKIT_ERROR_CANCELLED, which is the GError returned by polkit_authority_check_authorization_finish(), at http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/polkit/polkit-1-polkiterror.html. So the problem may be with Nautilus not checking that value, or with the backend that Nautilus calls not returning that value as a special case. In the first case, that's a paper cut, in the latter, it's more complex. ** Package changed: policykit-1-gnome (Ubuntu) => nautilus (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- pressing CANCEL in policykit super user "mount dialog" shows silly error message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543042 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

The caller can't distinguish between cancel and an error. I don't know if this is a concious decision for some sort of security consideration, so I would be reluctant to change it without some discussion with upstream. It is however more than a few minutes work, and not really appropriate for this point in a release cycle anyway.
