For anyone needing a workaround, the command "adduser" executed from the terminal can be used to add a new user. Type "adduser -help" for usage instructions.
Strangely, though, the new user created with this command does not show up in the users-admin GUI, nor does it show up in the list diaplayed at the login screen. You have manually enter the new uesr's login name in order to log him/her in. -- users-admin crashed with SIGSEGV in oobs_users_config_add_user() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/522612 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
