Public bug reported: When switching from the user (sudo-enabled) I normally use to another one (which I rarely use, and is also sudo-enabled), I can not access the desktop. A window opens blocking the whole screen and asking the user password (the second user), whatever I type, the window does not close (see screenshot). In some cases after a random number of times I push "cancel" the window disappears, but not all the times.
Steps to reproduce the bug: - switch from user A to user B - enter password in gdm, log-in is successful - update window opens and never disappears. I can not access the desktop. To exit this situation I need to change desktop with CTRL+ALT+F4 and log-in again with user A, which works. If I switch to user B again I am stuck again. Note that after this happens, I updated/upgraded repositories using user A and the window will be still there when switching to user B. What you expected to happen: - If I enter the user password the window should do something (start updating) but instead it produces an error (something on the line "This did not work") and the window remains there - If I push "cancel" the window remains there, only in some cases it did disappear after clicking cancel many times (tens of times) I'v seen this page describing something similar, but I don't have xRDP installed https://c-nergy.be/blog/?p=14051 $ dpkg -l| grep -i xrdp $ Ubuntu Version: packages updated to March 13 2020.
