[Bug 4738] Re: user privileges affecting adduser component and sudoers
Closing because of lack of information. I'll try to make this kind of bug impossible in the next release by redesigning the way we commit changes to the system, so this should disappear anyway. ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- user privileges affecting adduser component and sudoers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/4738 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

teaker1s: I've followed the steps you describe in your comment, and I've not been able to reproduce the bug you describe with the latest development version. Can you still reproduce the problem on your side? To all: I'd really like to tackle this bug, but the reports here don't provide steps that I can reproduce. If you can give me precise instructions, I'll be glad to help you. Thanks! ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- user privileges affecting adduser component and sudoers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/4738 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 4738] Re: user privileges affecting adduser component and sudoers
Hi, I am running 8.10 Intrepid Ibex All of my groups got deleted today, and I only discovered this after I tried to use a command that required sudo--it told me that my main user was not in the sudoers file. Upon reboot, my computer wouldn't start normally, because every single group got wiped out. When I start using recovery mode (hitting ESC during Grub launcher message), the only groups I see are: > groups root > cat /etc/group root:x:0: nogroup:x:65534: samba:x:1001: This just happened to me today. I had added a user named "samba" and I noticed it was appearing in the menu as one of the users that I could log in to--the User Switcher panel on the menu on the top right. I wanted "samba" to disappear, so first I tried to remove samba from shell login by setting its shell to /bin/true. I went to System > Administration > Users and Groups Except for my users, I saw "root" and "samba" grayed out, and I could not edit the properties of the "samba" account. There was an button that said "Unlock," so I pressed that, a prompt came up with some message that I didn't bother to read, I saw my username, and I just assumed it wanted me to authenticate, so I typed my sudo password as usual. I edit the samba user, and set its shell to /bin/true (nothing happened when I press the drop-down arrow to display more shells, so I typed it in manually). After I confirm all the dialogs, when I tried a command that required sudo, it reported that I was no longer a member of sudoers... That's pretty much a step-by-step of what occurred. Seems like this is a legitimate bug, since it happened to others as well. -- user privileges affecting adduser component and sudoers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/4738 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
