Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
I have a relatively newly installed Xubuntu 9.10 installation, no weird modifications, has updates. I tried using the Xubuntu main menu's Users and Groups to change my password, but it will not let me. It seems that "gnome-about-me" is missing, even though it is required for me to change my password. Reproduce: 1. Install Xubuntu 9.10 with first-password. 2. Xfce main menu --> System --> Users and Groups 3. Unlock using "Click to make changes" 4. Click "Properties" for my username 5. Click "Change Password..." 6. BUG: Nothing happens. No new windows pop up. Nothing. Inability to change password. ----- additional info ----- I tried starting "Users and Groups" by running "users-admin" on the command line. When I click "Change Password...", the following error is output: WARNING **: Error spawning gnome-about-me: Failed to execute child process "gnome-about-me" (No such file or directory) See screenshot. I checked in Synaptic: It seems that the "gnome-about" package is not installed. It seems that gnome-about should be installed by default in the xubuntu installation, since it's attempting to use it for changing my own password. This could probably be done by making the package that includes "users-admin" depend on "gnome-about-me". I'm not sure how the packaging works...
