Public bug reported: After complete removal of firewalld service package (using sudo systemctl disable firewalld.service, sudo apt remove firewalld), a firewalld service authorization login prompt continues to pop up after system startup, immediately after regular login. This is after systemctl and apt can no longer find firewalld.
The problem is caused by a file, systemctl.desktop, located at: /home/dave/.config/autostart/ The file content while causing the problem was: [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Exec=systemctl start firewalld.service Hidden=false NoDisplay=false X-GNOME-Autostart-enabled=true Name[en_US]=Firewall Name=Firewall Comment[en_US]=Start Firewall Comment=Start Firewall I solved my immediate problem by commenting out the file contents with # hashtags at the beginning of each line. Implementing this method during removal of the package could be a solution, or just deleting this entry in the file might be better.
