[Bug 458883] Re: [users-admin] deleting a user doesn't work
Yeah, very detailed, now I'm sure the path is '/' and not something strange. dbus-monitor seems to indicate that this wrong message is actually D-Bus introspection asking for an answer, so nothing very problematic. I don't know why I don't see it here, maybe I've not updated my system enough. What do you get if you run 'sudo dbus-monitor --system' and then reproduce the problem of removing an user as you would normally do? Is the user removed if you run 'sudo system-tools-backends -v' before doing trying (forget about dbus-monitor there)?

[Bug 458883] Re: [users-admin] deleting a user doesn't work
Wow, not very verbose, but at least now we know that there was not error, and that message destination was set (because it took you 7 'next' to get out of the function). So it seems that the problem is only that the destination was different from org/freedesktop/SystemToolsBackends/*. Could you break at get_destination() again, type 'next', and then print arr[0] print arr[1] print arr[2] print arr[3] print arr[4] But just before running gdb, please also run 'sudo dbus-monitor --system' and post the output here.

[Bug 458883] Re: [users-admin] deleting a user doesn't work
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. Then you can type 'ba' to get the trace.

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

[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 458883] Re: [users-admin] deleting a user doesn't work
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. If others want to try, you can concentrate on the simple step 'sudo system- tools-backends -v', since everything else seems to be fine. The message CRITICAL **: Could not get a valid destination, original one was: / is particularly important and could explain the whole issue. I'll investigate in that direction and report. Could you confirm though that 'sudo which system-tools-backends' once reported nothing at all? I can't believe it, that would mean something very strange is going on. -- [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

I'm getting slightly different behaviour. This is what I did to reproduce: 1. Create user. 2. Log out and log in with new user. 3. Log out of new user account and back into admin account. 4. Try to delete user via Users and Groups. It warns that the user is still logged in even though they do not show up in the users command. 5. Press OK and the user still appears to be deleted. However, closing and reopening the Users and Groups app makes the user still appear and they account is still accessible. -- [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

@Milan, The only difference between what I and the others here are experiencing is that I get a dialogue about the user still being logged in. I fail to see how this could conclusively be a separate bug. I haven't tried to use the killall commands that others here have posted because, frankly, I'm too busy trying to iron out all the other quirks that have reared their heads after upgrading to 9.10.

Great! Using the info submitted by Milan, I've found a create a patch which solves the user deletion problem for me. Like Milan's one, please apply the attached patch using: sudo patch /usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/Users/Users.pm fix-deleting-user.patch and report if that fixes the issue for you. The rationale is: users-admin is using deluser command for deleting a user, but (I don't know why) does not work. My patch simply uses userdel command instead, which works as expected. ** Attachment added: fix-deleting-users.patch http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34820363/fix-deleting-users.patch -- [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

Yeah applying the patch (submitted by Ricardo) to the source of system-tools-backends works very nice.

[Bug 458883] Re: [users-admin] deleting a user doesn't work
I am experiencing this problem too (marked #463582 as duplicate) and my steps to reproduce include a new session - and even a separate user. So this bug seems to be generic for any kind of account deletion, even with the original user created by a clean install of at least Ubuntu 9.10. The GIDs are the GIDs my users had. Steps to reproduce: 0. Login as administrative user (GID:1000) 1. Create a new user as Administrator (GID:1001). 2. Reboot. 3. Login as the new administrator. 4. Startup users-admin. 5. Remove the original user (GID:1000). 6. Close 'users-admin' and start it up again. Notice that the original user (GID:1000) is still there. I submitted this to upstream for my previous bug report. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600056 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #600056 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=600056 -- [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
