I noticed that the same happens when you try to add a user with an existing uid. The tool even claims that the new user's home directory is added. On the other hand, at least the initially proposed uid is not 0.
Why not give a *warning* (not error) message when a duplicate uid is given in the tool, and if user confirms, run useradd and groupadd with the -o option. -- users-admin fakes adding groups with existing gid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491434 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
