Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
Xubuntu 8.04 Live CD
Processor = AMD-K6 500MHz
RAM = 311MB
Menu Users and Groups:
Users Settings box shows no users. Unlock button is greyed out with text "this
action is allowed".
Manage Groups box is also blank.
cat /etc/passwd shows expected full list of users
cat /etc/group shows expected full list of groups
Using GUI, add user "test" with UID of 1000 and administrator profile.
No entry appears in Users Settings box.
No home directory for "test" is created.
cat /etc/passwd now shows only user "ubuntu"
cat /etc/passwd now shows only groups "root", "nogroup" and "ubuntu"
sudo capability now lost.
Note that the number of users and groups deleted from passwd and group
after using the GUI can vary.
Xubuntu CD verified as good and this test works correctly on another PC
with a 1GHz Celeron processor and 256MB of ram.
Kubuntu 8.04 Live CD works correctly on AMD-K6 machine, with addition of
users via GUI (kuser?) working normally.
Conclusion - While Xubuntu is generally suitable for old hardware, some
gnome system tools fail when used with the AMD-K6 processor. Both the
live CD and an installed version show the same behaviour.
