I had the same problem. In my case, I discovered that it was due to a null password : I created a guest account and configured gdm so that passwod ios not required for this account. In order to be coherent I deleted the password with 'passwd -d guest'. This creates a 'null' password that causes the assertion fail. If an account without password is authorized, then in liboobs-2.22.0/oobs/oobs-usersconfig.c line 362, the assertion g_return_val_if_fail ((login && password && homedir && shell), FALSE); should be replaced by g_return_val_if_fail ((login && homedir && shell), FALSE).
As having a password does not change the behaviour of gdm (it still not requires the passwd for this guest account), I put a password to "guest" and everything is now ok. I had a look to the backends outputs previously attached above: - in test-backends output, there is a password for root account. This should be the cause of the pb, as for me - in UsersConfig.out, I do not see anything wrong about passwords.. -- users-admin won't add or delete users https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220697 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
