[Bug 463353] Re: [users-admin] Modifying user password has no effect
Rationale for SRU: - changing a user password fails with any user other than self, so this leaves Karmic without GUI to do that - this fix merely brings back a line that should never have been removed since Jaunty, so there's basically no risk - already applied upstream in the same form, should be available in 2.8.3 -- [users-admin] Modifying user password 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 for the feedback.

[Bug 463353] Re: [users-admin] Modifying user password has no effect
i will try, but in my impression when i look at sub change_user in Users.pm with geany, i have the impression as if there where actions concerning passwords explicitly programmed only for FreeBSD and SunOS. -- [users-admin] Modifying user password 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

[Bug 463353] Re: [users-admin] Modifying user password has no effect
Yeah, you're right, that's what I eventually found out too. I've removed that line when fixing something else in the latest release. I know it was risky to commit such changes in a stable release, but I'd have thought we'd have discovered it before. Next cycle we'll make development releases to avoid those failures. Thanks for noticing it! This fully applies for a Stable Release Update, attached patch also fixes bug 468922, since both problems come from typos in the same function. Easy to review and really nice to have. ** Attachment added: fix-modifying-users.patch http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34989347/fix-modifying-users.patch ** Changed in: system-tools-backends Status: Incomplete = Fix Committed ** Changed in: system-tools-backends (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- [users-admin] Modifying user password 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
