8

I have a mysql 8 running on an ubuntu 19.10 on a desktop computer (a new think station).

Computer has a dual boot and two SSD hard drives (500gb and 1TB), both of then partitioned. In the small one I have the OSs and the big one is reserved to data. In the small one Ubuntu has like less than 200gb and in the big one a little bit less than 600gb. Root / is the 200gb while /home is the 600gb.

I moved the mysql storage to /home/data/mysql so I don't run out of space since I'm going to load a good chuck of data (~100gb 500 million rows).

I'm not usually on the desktop of the computer but accessing via ssh.

However, I've seen already twice a windows asking for authentication for gvfsd-admin process. I grant it and then the window stays there forever.

What is going on?

    I had a similar issue. I cannot figure out what's happening but I managed to remove it by pressing the Alt+F2, type "r" in the command box, and press enter. GNOME should restart and the window will disappear. – Aleksandar Nikolic May 28 '20 at 8:21

    Got this with 20.04. Notably, popup requesting permission elevation in environment of non-admin user (which is impossible/non-secure). Definitely bug. – dess Aug 13 '20 at 23:40

Press Alt+F2, then in the resulting box type r and press the Enter key. This will temporarily resolve the issue by restarting the GUI desktop manager.

The underlying cause or bug is not clear yet.

  • The workaround helps, thanks. Is there an upstream bug report? I just hit the same issue. Fully updated system. It's 10 months later no bug fix yet? – user643011 Dec 23 '20 at 20:41
  • @user643011 Not sure if there is one. Feel free to log one! Thanks – Roel Van de Paar Jan 18 at 3:19
