The logs show that all groups are removed when trying to create the user, thus the subsequent failure since 'ubuntu' is not in the 'admin' group. So the problem is, why no users/groups are detected on start. Do the D-Bus errors in auth.log appear before or after you try to create the user? This is a very important point.
The commands did not print much because they have not been used. If an instance of the backends was already running, the second one you started has stayed idle. Please try this, in two different terminals, reproduce the procedure, and post all the logs here: - in the first window: sudo killall perl /usr/bin/perl; sudo /usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/SystemToolsBackends.pl -m UsersConfig --platform ubuntu-8.04 - in the other one: sudo killall system-tools-backends; sudo /usr/sbin/system-tools-backends -nd -- Creating an user destroys most of users and groups configuration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/240437 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to liboobs in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
