[Bug 1935568] Re: after having a bug reported, locked screen, and coming back, ubuntu-bug -w leaves a gksudo dialog for dmesg open

[Brian Murray]

The reason I mentioned jackd is the bug description shows a listing of
crashes in /var/crash and there is one from July 8th:

Title:
  after having a bug reported, locked screen, and coming back, ubuntu-
  bug -w leaves a gksudo dialog for dmesg open

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I reported two bugs today, and both times, after having finished
  reporting the bug, locking my screen, and logging back in, suddenly
  there was a dialog asking for my sudo password so it can execute
  dmesg.

  But I could neither hit cancel nor could I enter my password, it
  apperaded that anything I did, especially clicks, made the window
  *below* the dialog react.

  First time I solved it by rebooting (because I had some packages to
  upgrade anyway), second time by killing gnome-shell and letting it
  restart.

  This dialog definitely did not appear in the process of reporting the
  bug, the first time it appeared on screen was minutes after completing
  the bugreports in launchpad, plus locking and unlocking the screen
  afterwards.

  Might also be a problem with gnome-shell or gksudo(?), but it only
  ever happened to me when using ubuntu-bug -w.
