Application asking for password
Something is asking me for my password (through a GUI popup) at startup and, if not given, again every half an hour.
I tried to deactivate every program at startup, but still asking.
How can I find what is this program?
I'm using Ubuntu desktop 18.04
EDIT: I tried:
while true ; do xlsclients; echo "" ; sleep 10 ; done
And I get those processes:
gnome-shell
ibus-x11
gsd-power
gsd-xsettings
gsd-wacom
gsd-clipboard
gsd-keyboard
gsd-media-keys
gsd-color
nautilus-desktop
gnome-terminal-server
gnome-software
Trying to kill some of these, I figure out that gsd-* restart again

you can also install htop (sudo apt install htop) and check which processes actively run on your computer.

The thing is the window locks every possible action except submit password or cancel action, I can't run any command
