[Bug 643153] Re: users-admin hangs when run as root

2011-05-18 Thread Milan Bouchet-Valat
The fact that you can log in as root doesn't mean you should. GDM doesn't show the root user, and the root account is disabled by default on Ubuntu, so you must have found this idea by yourself. AFAIK, recovery mode only starts a console, so, yes, you should either fix things from the console, or

If you think it's more fair, I can mark it as Triaged. But IMHO that's as fallacious as Invalid since I know I won't fix it and nobody will now that the gst are deprecated upstream. (Of course, hadn't it been deprecated, the easy fix would have been to exit when we detect user is root. ;-) **
