I ran into a bit of a bug (two bugs actually?):

tried to install a debian package using gnome-software
was (rightfully) asked to authenticate with the dialog shown in the screenshot
the polkit permissions are wrong (this is bug number 1, probably I can report it to my distro’s polkitd package)
clicking “cancel” did not make the dialog go away
the dialog blocked most interactions with any other windows (screenshots worked - but that was all)
killing the process that spawned the dialog (gnome-software) did not make the dialog go away (this is the thing that’s annoying me most)

I wasn’t able to find out which process was responsible for this, so I also don’t know which package to report it for… Ended up killing my entire gnome session to be able to continue.

Does anyone have an idea?

Rules:

1. Trolling, flamewars, or poor discussion

We ask all users to follow the GNOME Code of Conduct. Top violations of this rule are trolling, starting a flamewar, “shitposting”, or not “remembering the human” aka being hostile or incredibly impolite.

2. No memes, image macros, or rage comics

Meme posts are not allowed. Feel free to post over at !linuxhumor instead.

3. Relevance to GNOME community

Posts should follow what the community likes: GNOME, GNOME development, GNOME applications, the GNOME foundation, GTK+, Flatpak or Flathub, and more. Take some time to get the feel of the community if you’re not sure!

4. Post and dash

Posting content is welcome (duh), but we do ask that you contribute more than just your content to the subreddit. We as well require you stick around and interact with the comments of your submission. If you post something and abandon it, it may be treated as spam.

5. No misdirected links, paywalls, or URL shorteners

In short: if your link doesn’t go right to the content it will be removed. Sites that require a login to view the content are not allowed. Example: A private Facebook post or a news organization that doesn’t have free article views. URL shorteners and links that misdirect users to ads/jokes are also banned.

6. NSFW

No NSFW links or content.

7. No rage posts

We do not shy away from criticism, in fact, we encourage it! However, criticisms of GNOME must be accompanied with valid, well reasoned arguments. Posts that contain no original content and are meant to just spread hatred and anger will not be tolerated.

8. Spam

For obvious reasons, spam is not tolerated. Spam content will be removed, and spam accounts will be banned. This also applies to bot accounts.
