[Bug 490093] Re: [users-admin] Password is reset to old value when it's been changed using about-me
Possibly a separate bug, but erring on the side of less churn in bug reporting/duplication. Using relatively freshly installed Ubuntu 9.10 system An unprivileged user attempts to change their password as follows: Navigate to System - Administration - Users and Groups tool Unlocks configuration--is prompted to authenticate using _privileged_ account (surprising, but will authenticate) Navigates to their own account - properties Selects Change Password... and authenticates account's current password, sets new password Feedback is that password was changed The password has not been changed. -- [users-admin] Password is reset to old value when it's been changed using about-me https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490093 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 490093] Re: [users-admin] Password is reset to old value when it's been changed using about-me
Yeah, that's the same bug. If you click Validate on the dialog with the Change Password button, you reset your password to its old value, and you break your keyring and eCryptfs encrypted dir. But (again) that will be fixed in Lucid with next upload of users-admin. -- [users-admin] Password is reset to old value when it's been changed using about-me https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490093 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 490093] Re: [users-admin] Password is reset to old value when it's been changed using about-me
Please, this bug is not about gnome-about-me hanging. I think I've found the hanging problem and I've posted a patch upstream, so it should be fixed at some point in Lucid. Else, open a new report. As regards the true subject of this report, new upstream version of users-admin fixes the problem by handling the password change itself, instead of starting gnome-about-me. So that will be fixed for Lucid. -- [users-admin] Password is reset to old value when it's been changed using about-me https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490093 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 490093] Re: [users-admin] Password is reset to old value when it's been changed using about-me
I confirm hangs. It happens when you fill out the old password with incorrect data or when the new password differs little from the previous one. Well they are not real hangs. Simply the cursor keeps being busy and every element except the Close button are deactivated. It seems hung, but it's not. You can still close the window using X or Close buttons. Obviously changes are not applied. The problem is that gnome-system-tools (or whatever) does not handle passwd errors correctly.

This bug required me to login under my old password, but the Keyrings required my new password.

[Bug 490093] Re: [users-admin] Password is reset to old value when it's been changed using about-me
This changed my ecryptfs password but not my user password, rendering my system broken beyond login. After some testing to work out what was going on, I used 'passwd' to change to the new password so everything matched. -- [users-admin] Password is reset to old value when it's been changed using about-me https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490093 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 490093] Re: [users-admin] Password is reset to old value when it's been changed using about-me
This bug also happens when I try to change the password in a terminal: sudo passwd seems to work, it asks for a new UNIX password, after that asks for a confirmation. Everything as usual. But upon reboot the system only recognizes the old password! This is very weird; I've never seen a terminal command fail where a graphical app does the job fine (System - Preferences - About me). -- [users-admin] Password is reset to old value when it's been changed using about-me https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490093 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 490093] Re: [users-admin] Password is reset to old value when it's been changed using about-me
Pjotr12345: please report your problem separately against the package 'passwd', this has nothing to do with the present bug. BTW, when changing your own password, you should use 'passwd' instead of 'sudo passwd'. The latter won't update your eCryptfs Private dir and your main keyring password. Please test whether 'passwd' alone works, and tell this in your report (About Me is using passwd in the background, so it *must* work.) -- [users-admin] Password is reset to old value when it's been changed using about-me https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490093 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 490093] Re: [users-admin] Password is reset to old value when it's been changed using about-me
@Milan: it seems that you're right. passwd works, where sudo passwd fails. Changing the password through System - Administration - Users and groups still fails, though. So I can only confirm the bug you reported, without adding new information. :-) -- [users-admin] Password is reset to old value when it's been changed using about-me https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490093 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 desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

No, it changed instantly...
