Yeah, very detailed, now I'm sure the path is '/' and not something
strange. dbus-monitor seems to indicate that this wrong message is
actually D-Bus introspection asking for an answer, so nothing very
problematic. I don't know why I don't see it here, maybe I've not
updated my system enough.
This is what i've done:
1.- sudo dbus-monitor --system
2.- loaded users-admin and deleted the user.
here is the output of 'sudo dbus-monitor --system':
signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus - dest=:1.62 serial=2
path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameAcquired
Wow, not very verbose, but at least now we know that there was not
error, and that message destination was set (because it took you 7
'next' to get out of the function). So it seems that the problem is only
that the destination was different from
org/freedesktop/SystemToolsBackends/*.
Could you
Ok Milan, this is (i think) a very detailed info:

signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus - dest=:1.61 serial=2

OK, this sound more logical.
Any chance you could run the system-tools-backends in gdb to identify the
precise source of the error? You should install the debug packages for your
version (2.8.2-1) and architecture from
http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/s/system-tools-backends/
Then you should

Good. Yet another step and we should know where the problem really comes
from - it seems to be a D-Bus problem.
Could you try 'sudo G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals gdb system-tools-backends' again,
but then do:
break get_destination

and when the breakpoint is reached

Yeah, I was aware the patch was not about the very same problem, but I
preferred testing that one too, since the problem here is very strange -
some cleaning is always helpful.
So you say using userdel solves the issue. Are you completely sure of
that? I.e., does that work even when rebooting
I forget to tell you that the user is still there.

Thanks Jaime! I've been a little stupid asking for 'ps ax | grep .p'
because it prints much noise too, but the information is interesting. If
others want to try, you can concentrate on the simple step 'sudo system-
tools-backends -v', since everything else seems to be fine.

I'm getting slightly different behaviour.
This is what I did to reproduce:
1. Create user.
2. Log out and log in with new user.
3. Log out of new user account and back into admin account.
4. Try to delete user via Users and Groups. It warns that the user is still
logged in even though they do
Darren: Then please report this separately, that's likely to be another
problem.

@Milan,
The only difference between what I and the others here are experiencing
is that I get a dialogue about the user still being logged in. I fail to
see how this could conclusively be a separate bug. I haven't tried to
use the killall commands that others here have posted because, frankly,
OK I guess I've found the culprit, which is a stupid-but-major typo. Please
apply the attached patch using
sudo patch /usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/Users/Users.pm [PATH
TO FILE]
and report if that fixes the issue for you. Thanks!
Darren: This dialog is itself a major difference

Sorry, Milan, but unfortunately your patch doesn't solve the problem.
Aside from that, your patch seems to touch the change_user subroutine,
instead of del_user, which should have more sense...

Great! Using the info submitted by Milan, I've found a create a patch
which solves the user deletion problem for me. Like Milan's one, please
apply the attached patch using:
sudo patch /usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/Users/Users.pm
fix-deleting-user.patch

Yeah applying the patch (submitted by Ricardo) to the source of
system-tools-backends works very nice.
This is what i did:
1.- sudo apt-get source system-tools-backends and decompress it.
2.- sudo patch /home/jfoc/system-tools-backends-2.8.2/Users/Users.pm
I have the same problem. I'm unable to delete a user. The dialog removes
the user from the users list, but the user is still in the system.

I confirm the same behaviour as Jaime Fernando on comment #9: after
execute
sudo killall /usr/bin/perl; sudo /usr/share/system-tools-
backends-2.0/scripts/SystemToolsBackends.pl -m UsersConfig -v ~/stb-
users.log
sudo /usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/SystemToolsBackends.pl
-m
WORKAROUND: only typing the following command on a gnome terminal and
leaving it opened:
$ sudo killall /usr/bin/perl; sudo /usr/share/system-tools-
backends-2.0/scripts/SystemToolsBackends.pl -m UsersConfig
Then go to System-Administration-Users and Groups and now you can
delete a user.

Thanks for the details. Does that happen even if you create the user,
restart the computer, and then try to delete it? The only bug I can
think of is that we would not be removing users that were just created
during the current session.

The problem appeared me when I tried to delete a user I had created

I am experiencing this problem too (marked #463582 as duplicate) and my
steps to reproduce include a new session - and even a separate user. So
this bug seems to be generic for any kind of account deletion, even with
the original user created by a clean install of at least Ubuntu 9.10.
The GIDs
i guess something similar happened to me: i created 2 temporary users,
and noticed the bug upon deleting them...
but today i noticed that one of these has been deleted (yesterday i
launched those command suggested in the wiki), nonetheless i tried again
deleting the second user but it still stays
To reproduce this bug is simple:
1.- Go to System - Administration - Users and Groups
2.- Click on the 'Click to make changes' button and enter your password.
3.- Click on the Add User button, then fill in the Username, Real name, User
password and Confirmation fields, then click on the OK
