Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.8.3-3
Severity: normal
Pressing the "Unlock" button on the gnome-control-center user manager
page causes the entire desktop to freeze for about 5s after which
gnome-shell appears to crash & restart the following error is reported
by g-c-c:
$ gnome-control-center
(gnome-control-center:30973): Gtk-WARNING **: Error acquiring
permission: Failed to acquire permission for action-id org.gnome.controlcenter.user-accounts.administration
Obviously this might be a bug in another part of gnome, but I've no
idea where to start looking. The password entering infrastructure for
things like gpg works fine if that's relevant at all.
I see the following output in /var/log/auth.log at the same time:
