[Bug 99276] Re: User and Groups does not inform user that manual UID already exists and create user groups.
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- 90_relibtoolize.patch * Dropped debian/patches/85_user_gnome_about_me_for_password.patch: - The change is obsolete in the new version * debian/patches/82_gst-packages-time-admin.patch: - Updated to remove superfluous UI file changes, causing focus issues in the users-admin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 99276] Re: User and Groups does not inform user that manual UID already exists and create user groups.
I've just fixed this problem upstream by checking that an UID free before creating the user. If that's not the case, a dialog is shown. This will sadly not be available in GNOME 2.28 because this would imply modifying strings, and that's too late for that. The bug described in the last comment can be fixed separately and could go into 2.28 if I find how to fix it. -- User and Groups does not inform user that manual UID already exists and create user groups. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99276 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

AmenophisIII: Actually, I can't find how the problem you describe can appear, since the tool should always choose a free UID by default. The only explanation I can find is that you have an user with ID 6 and another with ID 60001. Could you open a separate report for that?

[Bug 99276] Re: User and Groups does not inform user that manual UID already exists and create user groups.
i have the same problem... although i did not change the uid or anything else. just the password fields. the group of the new user gets added: grep test /etc/group test:x:1005: testu:x:1006: (i tried two times... thought maybe test is a reserved word the first time) but no user in passwd and no home dir. i did add users on the console before, maybe that complicated things? no matter what went wrong.. its just a WTF NONO!!! to not do any error handling, im really pissed. -- User and Groups does not inform user that manual UID already exists and create user groups. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99276 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 99276] Re: User and Groups does not inform user that manual UID already exists and create user groups.
users-admin works much better on Intrepid (8.10). If I create a user named admin it takes the existing admin group (112) and reassigns it a new ID in the user range (like 1002) and adds the admin user to all the normal user groups apparently without problems as there are no messages about it. This way it provides Windows 9x-Me security without the annoying Vista-like security warning pop-ups.

[Bug 99276] Re: User and Groups does not inform user that manual UID already exists and create user groups.
No, this is completely different from those bugs-- fixing bug 124993 just gives the admin the opportunity to work around this bug, by manually checking all the existing uid's. That shouldn't be necessary, because a smart system should warn the admin automatically. ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- User and Groups does not inform user that manual UID already exists and create user groups. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99276 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

this bug looks like the same as bug 141067, only applied to users.

[Bug 99276] Re: User and Groups does not inform user that manual UID already exists and create user groups.
I just encountered this same issue on a new Feisty (7.04) install when I attempted to create a user name of staff. As is default in Ubuntu, USERGROUPS=yes in adduser.conf so each new user gets their own group. The group staff is a Ubuntu default with a GID of 50 so it couldn't be used. No messages were displayed by users-admin and I didn't figure out what the problem was until I tried to use adduser which informed me the group already existed. -- User and Groups does not inform user that manual UID already exists and create user groups. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99276 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 99276] Re: User and Groups does not inform user that manual UID already exists and create user groups.
Similar situation occurs when an user is deleted and re-added. Suppose you add a user newuser using the System - Administration - Users and Groups. The user is successfully created. Then you decide to remove the user, and it is successfully removed. Then, if you add user newuser again, the creation dialog works just like before, and the user shows up in the list, but it is not created. Indeed, closing and opening again the Users and Groups dialog will not show this user, nor will it be available as login. In order to make it work again, it is needed to click on Manage Groups in the Users settings dialog, then manually remove the group newuser. After that, it is possible to create the user successfully using the graphical interface. However, as noted above, there are no messages indicating any errors. -- User and Groups does not inform user that manual UID already exists and create user groups. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99276 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
