That doesn't work because you're passing the '-e' option, which means: mark the password for expiration to force the user changing it on next login. That operation requires admin rights. BUT please simply use 'passwd', without anything else. (This is the best way of changing passwords in the

That's not a workaround, that's the normal procedure. Why would you use 'passwd -e' in the first place, if you want ot change your own password? The only bug I can see here is that PolicyKit should allow users to authenticate even if their password is marked for expiration until they log change

Please don't bother installing Jaunty - if that's failing in Karmic, that's enough for me. So to sum up, it seems that both PolicyKit and gksu authentications fail. Does a simple sudo echo test works? I guess not, but I'd like to be sure. A log that you could also post here is /var/log/auth.log

Thanks for the report, I agree the present situation is not optimal. But don' t believe we wan't to fix this because password-less accounts are unsecure, and we don't want to encourage users to work as in Windows. If you want to perform administrative tasks, having a password is essential. OTOH,

Again... Tricky issue. Considering the precise bug you found, it comes from the fact that the max [GU]ID was statically defined as 65,535. I'll fix that easily, but I lack a generic way of detecting the actual system maximum for gid_t. I guess I've found a hack that will work, though. That will be

Sadly gdb doesn't seem to find the source file, which does not allow us to get details about the crash. From what I see in the code, we could crash if libhal returns an array without telling us its real size. We could check that the code in libhal is not buggy in that regard, but anyway HAL is now
