Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: system-tools-backends
I am running lucid with system-tools-backends at 2.9.4 and am seeing errors
trying to run any of:
Time and Date
Users and Groups
example:
$ users-admin
(users-admin:12353): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error
communicating with the backends: Failed to execute program
/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success
$ gksu users-admin
(users-admin:12389): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error
communicating with the backends: Failed to execute program
/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success
$ gksudo users-admin
(users-admin:12413): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error
communicating with the backends: Failed to execute program
/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success
I checked and /etc/groups did not appear to be overwritten, but the
commands still do not work either from the menu or the command-line.
# cat /etc/issue
