I ran users-admin from a console, clicked "Add", "Delete", and "Advanced Settings" and waited five minutes. During that time, no messages were printed to the command line. I checked that before restarting polkitd and inspecting its output -- did you want me to check and see if polkitd produces additional debug messages during that time, too?
I'm attaching the output of polkitd. For reference, the last message printed before I started users-admin was: ** (polkitd:1592): DEBUG: Added authentication agent for unix- session:/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session2 at name :1.14 [/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1], object path /org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8 And the "Exiting with code 0" message did not occur during the execution of users-admin; that was from when I terminated polkitd with Ctrl+C after quitting users-admin. As for running pkcheck on the running instance of gnome-settings-daemon ...gnome-settings-daemon is not running (or even installed) on this system. Would that be the cause of the problem? This is a Lubuntu Natty system created by installing lubuntu-desktop on top of a command-line system installed from the Natty Alpha Alternate Install CD, which is probably why it doesn't have gnome-settings-daemon (it doesn't have most components of GNOME). I didn't figure that was the problem, because I use a Lubuntu desktop on my Maverick amd64 system, and that runs users-admin without any problems. gnome-settings-daemon is installed on that system (because I also have ubuntu-desktop installed there), but it is not running. ** Attachment added: "output of sudo /usr/lib/policykit-1/polkitd" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/685596/+attachment/1756725/+files/polkitd.out -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/685596 Title: users-admin edit dialogs don't show up -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
