Binary package hint: policykit-1
Steps to recreate this bug:
- Fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 desktop amd64 in a vm (just to confirm this bug).
- get any vnc server (in this example: sudo apt-get install tightvncserver)
- run vncserver
- (set password etc etc)
- connect with a vnc viewer
- launch something that requires polkit authentication, in this example: users-admin (system->administration->users and groups)
- click 'advanced settings' (this requires authentication to access)
- the polkit authentication dialogue will show up on DISPLAY :0 instead of DISPLAY :1 where your VNC session is.
This bug makes graphical system administration impossible on headless systems.
The debug information was generated on a fresh/clean VMWare installation, using tightvncserver with display :1
I have tested and seen this same effect under NXServer and X11 forwarding over ssh.
The only way I could 'see' the prompt was by attaching to DISPLAY :0 remotely (ie vino, or NXServer's 'shadow' mode).
I have also tested and seen this same effect on Ubuntu netbook Remix 10.x.
A workaround *may* be to use pam-keyring to auto authenticate on login (have not tested)
