[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.

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 475974 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475974 Good catch! That's a very bad side-effect of bug 475974, which already has a fix committed upstream.

OTOH it's easy for an user to miss the fact that GID is 0. That's a least a reason to do an SRU. The root bug here is that we have been checking that the GID of the root group can't be changed, but not that one can create a pseudo new group with GID 0.

As reported in the duplicate bug 486130, this has more dramatic consequences when creating a group: the GID is set to 0 by default, which leads to adding users to the root group without notice. While admins can be clever enough to change that, people may still miss this detail, which could be highly dangerous...

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

Err, correction: the command passwd will update your keyring. sudo passwd can't do this because it does not ask for the old password.

[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.

[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.

[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

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 defaults allow_inactiveno/allow_inactive allow_activeauth_admin_keep/allow_active /defaults and put auth_admin_keep instead of no on the allow_inactive line. You may also set both to yes, but don't forget to revert this change after you tested it.

[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

The situation is actually more complex than that. If you're still using Jaunty, this can be checked easily. But in Karmic, you should have noticed, services-admin is not present. Further, cron is now handled via an upstart job, which are not supported ATM by services-admin upstream.

OK, this sound more logical. Any chance you could run the system-tools-backends in gdb to identify the precise source of the error? You should install the debug packages for your version (2.8.2-1) and architecture from http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/s/system-tools-backends/ Then you should run sudo G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals gdb system-tools-backends which will make the program abort on the waring.

[Bug 458883] Re: [users-admin] deleting a user doesn't work
Good. Yet another step and we should know where the problem really comes from - it seems to be a D-Bus problem. Could you try 'sudo G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals gdb system-tools-backends' again, but then do: break get_destination run and when the breakpoint is reached print dbus_message_get_path (message) print dbus_message_get_interface (message) print dbus_message_get_sender (message) print dbus_message_get_signature (message) print dbus_message_get_error_name (message) Then enter 'next' until the program aborts (should take about 10 lines). If it exceeds 20 lines, then use 'continue' to get to the next message and repeat the procedure from the above 'print' calls. -- [users-admin] deleting a user doesn't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/458883 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

So we should put the icon and text together in a button, and let GTK+ choose to display the icon or not, just like it's done since Karmic for all (standard) buttons.

[Bug 458883] Re: [users-admin] deleting a user doesn't work
Yeah, I was aware the patch was not about the very same problem, but I preferred testing that one too, since the problem here is very strange - some cleaning is always helpful. So you say using userdel solves the issue. Are you completely sure of that? I.e., does that work even when rebooting after having created the user? Anyway deluser is a better approach since it takes into account more system parameters and is more user-friendly. The weird thing is that userdel seems to work when you start the tools manually, so... Jaime: You don't have (and shouldn't, for testing purposes at least) to install the system-tools-backends from sources to apply the patch. If you do so, we can't be sure if the bug is solved by using a custom install, or because of the patch itself. Moreover, I fail to see how your procedure can have fixed the bug, provided that the default install path is /usr/local, where users-admin won't look for the scripts (since D-BUS should not know about them). Or did it overwrite the default D-BUs configuration in /usr/share/dbus-1/? Could somebody provide the following informations without using the patch (you can revert using patch's -R option) nor a custom install? - output of 'sudo which perl' - output of 'ps ax | grep perl', 'ps ax | grep .p', 'ps ax | grep system-tools' after having started users-admin from a fresh boot - output of 'sudo which system-tools-backends', and of 'sudo system-tools-backends' after reproducing the user deletion attempt, and from fresh boot. Does that fix the problem too?

[Bug 463353] Re: change of password with users-admin has no effect
So does that fix your problem? To packagers: I think this applies for a quick SRU - except if we wait for other fixes to publish at the same time, which can happen. Ugly is mostly a matter of taste... ;-) perl in itself is not the cause of this bug. I think I'll make it more strict about variables declarations, and print more warnings. It's all about the coding style: developers should have used those restrictions from the beginning, and I should have been more careful, that's all. I don't believe it's worth rewriting all the backends in another language - except if you volunteer to do it! ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed ** Package changed: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) = system-tools-backends (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: system-tools-backends (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete ** Also affects: system-tools-backends Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: system-tools-backends Status: New = Fix Committed ** Changed in: system-tools-backends (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- change of password with users-admin has no effect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/463353 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to system-tools-backends in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thanks Jaime! I've been a little stupid asking for 'ps ax | grep .p' because it prints much noise too, but the information is interesting.
