I encountered the bug too after I performed an system update this morning (15. October) via update-manager.
Your other questions: 1, No, actual and new passwords differed, I was careful enough to perform the correct steps that should have led to successful password change. 2, The hanging behaviour is password-independent and happens always - it means it's perfectly reproducible. It effectively means it is not possible to change the password in a GUI way. 3, It does occur only if I try to change my own password, not other users. 4, 'passwd' succeeded in changing my password without any trouble. What additional input is needed to change the bug's status from 'incomplete' to 'assigned' ? -- changing user password causes hang in users-admin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661272 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
