Bug Description

When I try to Mount a windows partition, the system ask for the authentication password. When i type and press enter, the dialogue box freezes on the screen. Neither it goes away nor it mounts the drive.

I have to press 'close' button on the box and then the dialogue goes away and the partition mounts successfully.

This happens almost everyday but not each and every time i try to mount the partition. Sometimes it goes away and everything works fine.

I hope it might be fixed soon.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. Are you still have this issue with Karmic? If so, enter this command into a terminal: apport-collect 495755 as it will automatically gather info pertaining to your computer to help triagers resolve your issue.

There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test the current Ubuntu development version (11.04) or the most recent stable release, Ubuntu 10.10. If you can test it, and it is still an issue, we would appreciate if you could upload updated logs by running apport-collect 495755, and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

I can confirm in Maverick. I see no additional messages logged to the terminal when this bug occurs versus when it doesn't.

I have close to 100% reproducibility here:

1. Run "gnome-network-properties"
2. Change the location.
3. Press close
4. Press "Apply System-Wide" on the dialog that pops up.
5. Bring focus to the authentication window by clicking on the window header: (important - click the window header and NOT the password box)
6. Type password, press enter
