Dimitrios: I have retested this with the latest Jaunty (development branch) Live CD and the fault remains similar to my original report with Hardy.
Run users-admin GUI from terminal... Users Settings box remains blank Manage Groups box remains blank Unlock button greyed out with tip "This action is allowed" Xubuntu 9.04 Live CD on AMD-K6 terminal output while adding user "test" via GUI... ubu...@ubuntu:~$ users-admin (users-admin:22640): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error communicating with the backends: Did not receive a reply.

However, home directory for user "test" is now created BUT... cat /etc/passwd now shows only users "root", "ubuntu" and "test". cat/etc/group now shows only groups "root" and "ubuntu". Numerous users and groups have disappeared from /etc/passwd and /etc/group after adding user "test" via users-admin GUI. sudo capability is now lost. -- Users-admin fails with AMD-K6 processor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/240437 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
