Just ran into this bug. Clean installation of Ubuntu Desktop 8.04. Running "users-admin" from console works as expected. Running "users-admin" or "sudo users-admin" from remote connection (e.g. ssh X11 forwarding, NXClient, etc) does not allow administrative access to unlock the tool.
The error given is: ** (users-admin:9673): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '9673' -- Unlock button throws an error, doesn't authenticate https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187335 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
