Please don't bother installing Jaunty - if that's failing in Karmic,
that's enough for me. So to sum up, it seems that both PolicyKit and
gksu authentications fail. Does a simple sudo echo test works? I guess
not, but I'd like to be sure. A log that you could also post here is
/var/log/auth.log
So thanks for providing the details now. This bug was not Triaged, it
was merely Confirmed. Sure, you had in mind the details, but nobody else
did. So, what was not mentioned in the report or the comments is:
changing your password does not allow you to authenticate via sudo.
You're really not

Do you have any idea of were this problem comes from? Are you able to

I'd need somebody to answer these questions. In particular, whether this
also happens when changing password using 'passwd', rather than using
users-admin.

Yeah, that's bug 484559. But does changing your password from the
console using 'passwd' bring the same bug as the present report
describes? If that's the case, that's a bug in PAM or sudo, and we
should move it if we want it to be fixed some day.

No, what I see is this (maybe different bug): I open users-admin, I
unlock, select the current user, and click on properties. When I try to
change the password---so I enter the new password and press Change
password, the tool just waits indefinitely. I cannot say it hangs,
because I can click on
wierdlmate: You're not the original reporter, are you? The problem you
describe seems to be linked with bug 490093. Please comment on that bug,
not here - are you able to change your password from the console using
'passwd'?
Closing this report by lack of feedback since august. Please reopen if
Xubuntu has a policy of not closing a bug report simply to get rid of
it. This was triaged in January 2009. There is no need for further
follow-ups unless it becomes fixed. Lack of feedback is not a valid
reason to close a triaged bug. Please insure the fix is valid before
closing.

Charlie Kravetz: You said you were able to reproduce the bug. Could you
give me details on that? I can keep it open indefinitely, but that won't
help, while cluttering my TODO list. I don't think your policy is to
keep reports open disregarding the fact that we can't reproduce them.

Thanks for attempting to reproduce the problem, Milan. When you tried
that, were you using Jaunty or Karmic? The dup I submitted (418337) was
for Jaunty.
Also, did you try to reproduce the symptom I reported in that bug, which
was different from the one reported here?

Details to reproduce it were to install Xubuntu 8.10, go to Add Users,
change your password, exit Add Users. At that point, you can not use
sudo for anything because you must log out and log back in. As I already
said, this bug was reported against Xubuntu, triaged against Xubuntu,

If I understand correctly the problem, you can only hit that bug when
trying to get admin rights without having restarted your session. Is
that the case? If so, I'm not able to reproduce that. Anyway, I'd see
that more as a PAM/PolicyKit issue. Warning users is a mere workaround,
since changes
