[Bug 310742] Re: cannot Unlock Users Settings
Sorry to all, but this report has become a terrible mix of different issues, so I can only close it. Please individually file new reports if you are still able to experience you issues with recent versions of Ubuntu. A few explanations, though: - Anton: 8.10 is no longer supported, so I won't waste time debugging issues on it. If you can reproduce the bug with a more recent release, please reopen the bug. - others: logging using SSH, VNC or other remote protocols isn't supported by PolicyKit currently, this is a known limitation. So you're not experiencing the same issue at all. ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- cannot Unlock Users Settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/310742 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 310742] Re: cannot Unlock Users Settings
I had this problem on Ubuntu-8.04 32bit. After Upgrade it is still there in 8.10 32bit. The same holds for 9.04 64bit with a fresh install. After having remotely logged in by a ssh-connection with X11-forwarding, either as user or as root: users-admin The User Settings dialog appears but the Unlock-button is disabled. While being logged in locally all works fine. -- cannot Unlock Users Settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/310742 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Confirming behavior under Jaunty 64-bit. Logged in to server remotely via NX (ssh) and cannot unlock the panel in users-admin.

My situation is similar if not identical to comment #6. I have seen it work before, but perhaps that was when I was working directly on that machine (not remotely). -- cannot Unlock Users Settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/310742 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 310742] Re: cannot Unlock Users Settings
I see this problem on fresh installs of two different machines, both on 8.04 Hardy and 9.04 Jaunty. Upon remote login through XDMCP and NX the administrator cannot unlock System-Administration-Users and Groups. PS: This bug is very serious for us since it stops the possibility to use Ubuntu for Thin Clients Remote Desktops in our business enterprise envinronments. If I recall correctly this worked on 6.06 Dapper. I hope there will be a solution for this problem. Purging policykit and reinstalling the ubuntu-desktop doesn't sound as a convincing solution since I have experienced this on fresh installations. (Almost Off Topic: the bug probably has been around for quite some time. Is it possible that very few people are using Ubuntu with remote desktops such as XDMCP and NX?) -- cannot Unlock Users Settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/310742 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 310742] Re: cannot Unlock Users Settings
What solved the issue for me has been: 1. Purge policykit (please note that this will remove ubuntu-desktop as well) from Synaptics 2. As Ubuntu-desktop has been removed I had to manually reconnect to the LAN (the network manager applet has been removed as well) 3. Reinstall ubuntu-desktop 4.

[Bug 310742] Re: cannot Unlock Users Settings
I installed Ubuntu 8.10 32bit the day before yesterday and it seems to work here, so may be the problem is related to the 64bit, but of course I can't really tell. -- cannot Unlock Users Settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/310742 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 310742] Re: cannot Unlock Users Settings
Thanks for your help, but unfortunately it did not help. The behaviour is still the same. However, I hope it became evident that there are more people having this problem (out of a very small sample who are ready to take the time to report the bug). -- cannot Unlock Users Settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/310742 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
