I haven't done any tweaking which might affect this. Only fiddled with xorg-edgers and fglrx-drivers. At installation used manual partitioning. Desktop system is running 9.10 KDE and kuser is working correctly, being able to change the name. So it seems it is GNOME specific issue. -- usermod fails: "cannot lock /etc/passwd" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432964 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
