[Bug 1508075] Re: ubiquity and others time out on polkit (killed by udisks2-inhibit)

 

Neither of the above solutions are perfect, thus for x and beyond (and
for Debian), I'd actually like to change it like this: udisks2-inhibit
should create a temporary udev rule in /run/udev/rules.d/ with

  SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1" on all block devices.

and then "udevadm trigger -subsystem-match=block" to apply it to
existing devices.

Note that UDISKS_AUTO="0" won't suffice: We don't only want to avoid
auto-mounting external USB  storage (as we might install onto that), but
also avoid accidental manual mounts by clicking on newly appearing drive
icons.

Bug description:
  on wily release candidates I get a crash when it switches to the
  network setup page

  this doesn't happen with "try ubuntu" mode which runs as root only
  when launching ubiquity from the desktop

  the backtrace points to an authentication issue

  I get a related backtrace even if I'm connected to a network from the
  panel network-manager
