So it sounds like a PolicyKit issue. Please run sudo killall polkitd; sudo /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd start users-admin, and click on a button that doesn't work. Then please attach the output here.
What happens if you run export PID=`pidof gnome-settings-daemon` pkcheck --action-id org.freedesktop.systemtoolsbackends.set --allow-user-interaction --process $PID Also, do you get an error message if you wait for a few minutes without closing users-admin, after clicking on a button? (No need to create a new user if the current one is shown.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/685596 Title: users-admin edit dialogs don't show up -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
