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 correctly. I'm still having some other odd errors since my recovery, but that's for a different thread.
I found out about the group backup file from http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1083487.html and he seems to be having the same problem. I'm running ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) 64 bit. if any other system information would help, please ask. -- users-admin (System->Administration->Users and Groups) overwrites group file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160862 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
