Here's an updated version of Jame's original patch, which used g_find_program_in_path() to check that gnome-about-me is present. If that's not the case, the normal password entries are shown, just like we do for other users than the current one. The patch was written in such a way that updating it was trivial, just adding a condition.
(I hope 'git diff > file' is good for this kind of patch, else that's easy to change.) The only problem is that Xubuntu users won't benefit from the improvement brought by the original patch, but that's better than breaking everything. In Lucid users-admin should fix this issue more generally anyway. ** Attachment added: "85_user_gnome_about_me_for_password.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35942759/85_user_gnome_about_me_for_password.patch ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- Xubuntu: Cannot change own password because users-admin needs gnome-about-me https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/484559 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
