Bug Description
Since a recent update in Oneiric the proble occured:
If I click the "New printer" icon in the main window of system-
----------
Privileges are required to get list of available devices.
An application is attempting to perform an action that requires privileges. Authentication as one of the users below is required to perform this action.
[ User selection drop-down ]
Password: _______
----------
This dialog is not needed (and never appeared before) as I am in the "lpadmin" group and so I can do all administrative actions with CUPS.
The problem is caused by the installed cups-pk-helper package, it disappears when removing the package. So there must be a bug in cups-pk-helper.
Changed in policykit (Ubuntu): | |
importance: | Undecided → High |
milestone: | none → oneiric-alpha-3 |
It seems you have cups-pk-helper installed. This hasn't been integrated into Ubuntu yet (we are about to), so until this is done, please remove the package again.
Thanks for your report!
