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

 

This bug was fixed in the package udisks2 - 2.1.6-2+git1

---------------
udisks2 (2.1.6-2+git1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * udisks2-inhibit: Stop fiddling with polkit rules; restarting it can break
    existing clients/pending requests, and we can't use inotify as we don't
    want to write anything on the actual file system and bind mounts don't
    trigger inotify. Use a different approach of a temporary udev rule which
    sets UDISKS_IGNORE on all block devices. This continues to avoid touching
    the file system but does not need any daemon restarts, works with polkit
    >= 106, and now also suppresses showing new block devices on the desktop.
    (LP: #1508075)

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
