pkexec hanging in gnome 3.28 & xorg, takes forever to proceed, how to fix it?
After the OS is running for a while, it may trigger for a bug that caused pkexec (including any application that use it, including synaptic) to hang. This can only be recovered from relaunching OS or gnome-shell.
This is a screenshot that describe this situation:
xhost +si:localuser:root
pkexec synaptic
I remember the same error in Manjaro with gnome 3.28, it disappeared in gnome 3.30. How do I backport the fix (if there is any) to Ubuntu 18.04?
UPDATE 1
these are my desktop environment:
$ export | grep XDG_SESS
declare -x XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP="ubuntu"
declare -x XDG_SESSION_ID="1"
declare -x XDG_SESSION_TYPE="x11"
... and synaptics version
$ apt-cache policy synaptic
synaptic:
Installed: 0.84.3ubuntu1
Candidate: 0.84.3ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 0.84.3ubuntu1 500

Are you running Wayland? What graphical session do you use? Please add output ofexport | grep XDG_SESSto the question. What is the version of Synaptics? Add output ofapt-cache policy synapticto the question. Have you read this Q&A? I can't reproduce your issue on clean 18.04 LTS with Unity, Ubuntu and GNOME FlashBack sessions (with all sorts of Xorg and Wayland). Do you have GNOME related PPAs?

Are you running Wayland? What graphical session do you use? Please add output ofexport | grep XDG_SESSto the question. What is the version of Synaptics?
