[Bug 477832] Re: User account lost permissions after Karmic upgrade, breaking all audio
Thanks for this detailed report. To make it completely clear, you experienced these problems after upgrade and before running users-admin, so that it cannot be the culprit? I'm asking that because it may also have led to that situation, it's a problem we've already seen. About the admin rights issue, being member of the admin group should be enough. What does /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/51-ubuntu- admin.conf contains? Can you list the groups you are member of? You can also compare those memberships with those of the user that still works (relatively easy reading /etc/group). Are you able to perform upgrades using update-manager from the buggy user account? About the general issue, I'm not sure what can have caused that, except update-manager itself. Once we have sorted out the problem specific to the gnome-system-tools (they may well be a mere consequence of the global bug), I think I'll move the bug to the package update-manager. ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- User account lost permissions after Karmic upgrade, breaking all audio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477832 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

OK, so it seems there's something strange with PolicyKit. What does 'ps ax | grep polkit' reports?

[Bug 477832] Re: User account lost permissions after Karmic upgrade, breaking all audio
Thanks! Seems that PolicyKit is running correctly. Does sudo killall polkitd; sudo /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd report any error? It may be that you're not detected as an active user, which could come from a ConsoleKit problem. Then, connecting via VNC would actually matter, if there's a bug in that part. You can edit /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.SystemToolsBackends.policy, find the lines no auth_admin_keep and put "auth_admin_keep" instead of "no" on the line. You may also set both to "yes", but don't forget to revert this change after you tested it. This should allow users to change settings without authentication, the first line is for users not detected as active (as the name says :-p ).

[Bug 307019] Re: ecryptfs Private directory not mounted after changing password in users-admin
After asking on the D-Bus list, Thiago Macieira told me that it was safe to send the plain text password over the bus, as long as we're on the same host (which is always the case AFAIK), and that we're using the system bus. So I think I'll make that change in the next cycle, so that we use PAM or passwd (any reason to prefer one over the other?). This won't solve the present bug actually, but I guess I'll also special-case the current user so that we ask for the old password, and run passwd unprivileged then. But that leaves a breach when you change a user's password as administrator. We could still send the old password to the backends (if provided), which would use su to run passwd as the user. But that may be over-engineered...

[Bug 477832] Re: User account lost permissions after Karmic upgrade, breaking all audio
So you've found the info better than I did! I reckon you did not issue this command through VNC? In that case, that would make things trickier. As I suspected, there's something wrong with ConsoleKit, which should at least have considered you as local for my tricks to work. You may get more information by running the ConsoleKit daemon manually, just like you did for PolicyKit: it's /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon. I'm not sure you should open a separate report right now, because what we are debugging is not a problem in users-admin, as it's getting broader with every step we make. It may well be that the whole failure is linked in some way that I can't really explain now, as I'm not familiar with ConsoleKit. For now, I'm moving the bug to that package, and another against update-manager, hoping that somebody can help debugging the links between both problems. ** Package changed: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) => consolekit (Ubuntu) ** Also affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- User account lost permissions after Karmic upgrade, breaking all audio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477832 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

Proposal for SRU: either install gnome-about-me on Xubuntu, which will require splitting it from the gnome-control-center package, or update the Ubuntu patch to users-admin so that it checks that gnome-about-me is present before hiding the original password fields.

[Bug 162710] Re: Cannot access wireless networks keys when user change his session password.
This is not trivial because nobody has found out where's the real problem. A paper cut must have a clear and simple solution. AFAIK, our /etc/pam.d/passwd file is right as it includes the line passwordoptionalpam_gnome_keyring.so So the problem is elsewhere. Please note that you should not use the "default" keyring, contrary to what is told in the bug description: only the "login" keyring is unlocked on login. Also, you must not have changed your password using users-admin in versions older than the final Karmic one. Else that won't work. Can you confirm that's the case on your systems? And yes, you can change your keyring password manually: see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338088#c30 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #338088 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338088 -- Cannot access wireless networks keys when user change his session password. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162710 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 162710] Re: Cannot access wireless networks keys when user change his session password.
Err, correction: the command "passwd" will update your keyring. "sudo passwd" can't do this because it does not ask for the old password. That's a known issue, but this behavior is required for admins to change user passwords by themselves. -- Cannot access wireless networks keys when user change his session password. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162710 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-keyring in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 162710] Re: Cannot access wireless networks keys when user change his session password.
If you can't change your password using gnome-about-me, then that's a bug in that program. On my box, this is working fine. No need to comment on other more or less related reports. Please report a new bug against the package gnome-control-center for that. The "default" keyring will never have it's password changed automatically, only "login" is designed for that. The command "sudo passwd" should work with the GNOME keyring as it's the standard way of doing it, and that's what is used anyway in the background. users-admin is merely running gnome-about-me currently, so that's the same problem. Does anybody else experience problems?

[Bug 485641] Re: unable to find settings for modem conection
Rationale for SRU: this bug prevents people from setting up PPP connections. network-admin is not included on the default install, but it's really useful for users with traditional modems (not sure ModemManager works in every case). The fix has been committed upstream and only adds a GtkCellRendererText in the .ui file. It's at [1]. Bugs 475974 and 484559 could be included in the same update - the latter doesn't have a fix yet, but that should be easy to do. -- [network-admin] Modem connection types not listed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/485641 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

[Bug 484559] Re: Xubuntu: Cannot change own password because users-admin needs gnome-about-me
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
[Bug 475974] Re: [users-admin] Group Properties dialog sets GID to 0 on first launch
The fix only contains the minimal changes we need to avoid giving users admin rights. We try not to introduce important changes in stable releases, and absolutely never change the user interface. I'll fix that for the next release, that's quite easy to do actually. As for the label of the button, I don't think changing its name would be a good idea; keeping the UI stable is important. Anyway, there's little point in viewing the list of groups when you don't have the rights to edit it. More generally, the tool is being completely redesigned currently, so we may find something better for it - at least, add an unlock button to that dialog. If you other have ideas about it, you can come and discuss this on our list.

James: Hmm... For some reason I've received only now the mail with your above comment, which I've completely missed when posting and working on the patch. Anyway, AFAICS there's still a problem with depending on gnome-about-me: it's in the gnome-control-center package, which would pull in gnome- settings-daemon, gnome-icon-theme, gnome-menus, gnome-desktop-data at least.
