The fix (as linked aboved) is simply to ensure split() stops when it has 4 items. That way, we ensure we won't pass more arguments than the D-Bus binding expects, which prevents the script from dying. So the garbage gets packed in the last field, i.e. users that are members of the group. This is not a problem since clients will simply get unknown users with strange names and ignore them.
Ideally, we should check that every field is valid, but for a backport, a one-line fix that works is better. Anyway, if the line is not correct, we can hardly behave better than clearing the list of members of the group. -- users-admin (System->Administration->Users and Groups) overwrites group file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160862 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
