Bug Description
* Impact
Users are prompted for an admin password to mount iso or disk images
* Test case
- right click an iso image and select "Open with disk image mounter" (or double click as it is the default action)
-> the image should be mounted
* Regression potential
Make sure disks and images handling in the desktop still works
-------
This issue is simple to reproduce on a fresh 18.04 install:
- right click an iso image and select "Open with disk image mounter" (or double click as it is the default action)
and/or:
- issue the command `gnome-
The resulting is a dialog asking for the user's password and the message "Authentification is required to modify the loop device /dev/loop22"
It is a show stopper for me as I use gnome-disk-

This has been fixed upstream, see this patch https:/ /github. com/storaged- project/ udisks/ commit/ b025f2bb2b14845 1417ae64a8c878e a4e6442a02 and this thread https:/ /github. com/storaged- project/ udisks/ issues/ 546
It seems that it is now up to the Ubuntu's package maintainer to apply it to Ubuntu.
