[Bug 491434] Re: users-admin fakes adding groups with existing gid
How can I upgrade my Ubuntu 9.10 gnome-system-tools from 2.28.1-ubuntu2 to 2.29 ? There are some bugs, such as when adding users that are fixed in 2.29 but in Synaptic Package manager it is only showing the 2.28.1 version as being available? -- users-admin fakes adding groups with existing gid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491434 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

Karmic is a stable release, which means only bugfix versions are uploaded to it now, i.e. (for GNOME) version with an even minor number. So users-admin 2.29.x is only available in Lucid - you'll have to wait until April to get the fix.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-system-tools - 2.29.3-0ubuntu1 --- gnome-system-tools (2.29.3-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low * New upstream release (LP: #506365) - Move to new System Tools Backends protocol (new liboobs API). We now only commit changes to one user at a time, reducing the risk for dangerous bugs. - Include default profiles configuration file (user-profiles.conf). Distributors should modify it to suit their needs and send them back for inclusion. - When creating an user, don't force UID, main group, home directory and shell: these parameters are now handled (better) by the platform tools (LP: #488158, LP: #313990) - Allow removing home directory when deleting an user (LP: #426125). - Don't allow deleting the last administrator account, and warn when the user is losing its own admin rights. Same for active users (LP: #25947, LP: #349453) - Don't allow creating a group with an existing GID (LP: #491434) - Use UID and GID ranges defined by liboobs, depending on the platform's abilities. - Clear suggested login entry when Real name is emptied in the new user dialog. - Change GConf showall option to apply only on users. System groups are always shown, since they are the most interesting ones. - Various UI and string improvements. - Change password for current user by running 'passwd', to avoid breaking keyrings and encrypted dirs - Ask for PolicyKit authentication when it most makes sense, i.e. when showing dialogs - Option to set encrypted home directories when creating users (on platforms that support it) (LP: #302870) - When editing one group, only commit changes to that group - When changing Real name, update it in the users list (LP: #498970) - Select current user on start, and the first one after selected user has been deleted - Don't force updating configuration twice on start * Also fixes LP: #344182, LP: #208057, LP: #188757, LP: #372695, LP: #99276, LP: #160862 * debian/control: - Bump liboobs-dev build-dep to 2.29.3 * debian/gnome-system-tools.install: - Don't install debian/profile - Install upstream user-profiles.conf instead * Delete debian/profiles * Refreshed patches: - 25_sambashare_group_definition.patch - 90_relibtoolize.patch * Dropped debian/patches/85_user_gnome_about_me_for_password.patch: - The change is obsolete in the new version * debian/patches/82_gst-packages-time-admin.patch: - Updated to remove superfluous UI file changes, causing focus issues in the users-admin password change dialog.

[Bug 491434] Re: users-admin fakes adding groups with existing gid
I noticed that the same happens when you try to add a user with an existing uid. The tool even claims that the new user's home directory is added. On the other hand, at least the initially proposed uid is not 0. Why not give a *warning* (not error) message when a duplicate uid is given in the tool, and if user confirms, run useradd and groupadd with the -o option. -- users-admin fakes adding groups with existing gid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491434 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

Yeah, that's already been spotted several times. See bug 475974 for the GID = 0 issue. I'll fix that for the next release. ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged -- users-admin fakes adding groups with existing gid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491434 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

To make matters even more confusing, when I add a new user with an existing uid, it doesn't get added, but its usergroup does get added, so the next time I'd try to add the user, the tool will report an error. -- users-admin fakes adding groups with existing gid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/491434 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
