[Bug 463353] Re: change of password with users-admin has no effect
For me the lesson is: stop using perl, it is ugly and dangerous :-( -- 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 gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[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

Well, forget about my previous comment. Instructions and patch at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system- tools/+bug/458883/comments/24 should fix the problem. -- 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 gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thanks for your report. Do you get the same problem if you run sudo killall /usr/bin/perl; sudo /usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/SystemToolsBackends.pl -m UsersConfig from console, and reproduce the procedure in users-admin without stopping the above command? Do you get the same problem when using a manual password? If that not the case, please read the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingGnomeSystemTools, and follow the procedure for the tool users-admin. ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- 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 gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
