I dont know if my bug really relates to this but i think so. What i did: I fiddled around with the user management in kubuntu (System Settings, User Managament) Added a user, and deleted him again because i couldnt login with the new user. I moved on to the console and added a new user with useradd, which worked.
Now, when i open kdesu userconfig and try to activate the user (he was inactive tells me the gui) and change the standard shell for him i get the following output on console: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/userconfig", line 350, in slotModifyClicked self.usereditdialog.showEditUser(self.selecteduserid) File "/usr/bin/userconfig", line 820, in showEditUser self.admincontext.save() File "/usr/share/python-support/kde-guidance/unixauthdb.py", line 836, in save self._sanityCheck() File "/usr/share/python-support/kde-guidance/unixauthdb.py", line 360, in _sanityCheck raise ValueError, "User ID %i appears more than once." % uid ValueError: User ID 0 appears more than once.
