even though my perl is a little dusty (haven't used it since college) this is
my get in the GroupsConfig.pm.
sub get
{
my ($self) = @_;
my $groups, $logindefs;
$self-SUPER::reset_counter ();
$groups = Users::Groups::get ();
$logindefs = Users::Users::get_logindefs ();
return
update: it's fixed, read more to find out how.
ok i added those lines right before the return in get() in the
/usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/GroupsConfig.pm file.
although i had to change them to:
Utils::File::run (echo Min: . $$logindefs{gmin});
Utils::File::run (echo Max: .
no Problem, glad i could help. i was also looking at the bug to see how
to fix it, but since you've got it, i won't worry about it.
btw, just for curiosity, what is the fix?

it does it every time. So i don't think the 48 char password is the
case. I'm setting up a VM at the moment to test it on a clean system.
I'll report back when

ok I am still working on the vm, but the logs you had me run were interesting.
the users-admin.log just had 40 copies of the line below (each one followed by
a blank line):

so what are the plans to fix this error for the 9.04 LTS version? or is
it not reproducible for anyone else?
i also found out that my other odd errors are from my mangled
/etc/passwd file. what happened is that the System - Users and Groups
basically made my groups file the same as the one
i don't know if this will help but i just added a new user (already had
root and my current user) via users-admin and it basically wiped my
/etc/group file. it had 2 lines left in it. luckily i was able to boot
in recovery mode and copy the backup at /var/backup/group.bak so that i
could boot
