Gnome logging out user with sudo privileges

[korky]

Hi guys, I have reinstalled Debian 9 and since then I am experiencing serious problem running GNOME on it. I know that It is not recommended to run GUI apps with sudo, but after finding command

Code: Select all

xhost si:localuser:root

it allows me to run GUI SW with sudo. Unfortunatelly just after one second I am loged out from system, the same thing happens when I choose Gnome on Xorg. In the past I have never experienced that problem on Xorg. Whats more I am also loged out from system when I plug in USB Flash disk, or when I mount something (eg. loop). I am running Gnome Shell 3.26.2 and Debian 9 with kernel 4.14.0-3. I have been looking for solution since yesterday, but I have not found somebody with same issue. It look like as an issue with sudo. By the way user, who I am using is also part of sudo group, my sudoers:

Code: Select all

%sudo   ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
juraj ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

please update your thread title to "Gnome logging out user with sudo privileges" or something.

It looks like to be user related, because when I created new user there is no loging out when I attache some storage or unmount it. When I use metacity there is no problem on both accounts. Now when I plug in USB stick it notifies me about mounting and then I can see grey backgroud as in login screen and immediately it logs me in refreshing whole desktop with windows. The same process can be seen when I unmount it.

Problem has been solved, luckily. This issue was caused by enabled Places Status Indicator in GNOME Tweak Tools. After disabling it, everything works like a charm.
