Restoring a 'no signal' monitor/tv from sleep causes a permanent authentication required window
Affected version
GNOME Shell 3.36.4 on X.org Ubuntu 20.04. Not using Wayland, never works for me.
Bug summary
I have 2 monitors: LG CX 48" OLED 4k on HDMI (default), Eizo ColorEdge CG243W on DVI in vertical. When my machine goes into sleep mode, the LG goes into 'no signal' mode. Restoring via mouse/keyboard movement brings me to the unlock screen as expected. Once logged back in, I get spammed with "Authentication is required to create a color profile" where I punch in my correct password, but it immediately spawns another one constantly, and I have to cancel.
I didn't bother to post a bug report until today where it is affecting me as a show-stopper from using my computer properly, where the behaviour has now changed to a permanent "Authentication Required" window that is now stuck in the top-left of my screen and I cannot remove it by authenticating or hitting cancel and it overlaps everything. A gnome-shell --replace
just causes problems and asks me to log-out, very annoying.
The Device Colour Profiles window does not show the LG monitor/tv, but it does show the Eizo which is automatically managed.
My GPU is an AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition using https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers drivers.
Steps to reproduce
- Let the machine time-out to sleep mode (5 minutes default here)
- Move mouse to get to the lock screen and log-in.
- Get spammed with color profile authentication windows or one that permanently etches into the top-left of screen...
What happened
Authentication color profile windows keep spamming me when logging back in from sleep.
What did you expect to happen
Don't show this window at all, or at least work so it gets set once and goes away permanently.
