I cannot replicate this in Bionic, at least if I understand the steps to reproduce correctly. If this is still valid in Bionic, please re-write the description with clear steps to reproduce. Ideally, this should be something that could be recreated from a fresh install.

This issue also affects the LTSP project. If you are logged into a thin client using LDM (LTSP Display Manager), the buttons Add, Delete, Advanced Settings do not work in users-admin. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/685596 Title: users-admin doesn't report error when PolicyKit authentication fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/685596/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Don't worry for the delays... some bugs are opened for years, often with a higher priority! As regards the active/inactive issue, that would likely be a bug in ConsoleKit. users-admin is not going away today nor in the next year, else I wouldn't even reply to bug reports. It's just that I don't plan to work on relatively complex things, or in very minor improvements, since we'd better improve the new tool. But patches are accepted of course! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/685596 Title: users-admin doesn't report error when PolicyKit authentication fails -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 685596] Re: users-admin doesn't report error when PolicyKit authentication fails
I should be able to do the patch, but I'd like to take a look at the source and get back to you. You classified the importance as low...is it OK if I take another few days before posting again? As for why my session is not considered active, I'm not sure. I am not connecting remotely. The system where I'm experiencing the problem is a VMware virtual machine (created by installing lubuntu-desktop onto a Natty Alpha 1 command-line system). But I have another natty virtual machine (where I installed ubuntu-desktop and then lubuntu-desktop onto a Natty Alpha 1 command-line system), and it does not have the problem. Both machines have the same version of the VMware drivers installed. I'll look through policykit's listed bugs to see if my situation is documented. Speaking of Lubuntu: I noticed that, unlike ubuntu-desktop, the lubuntu- desktop metapackage has not removed gnome-system-tools as a dependency in natty (http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/lubuntu-desktop). Lubuntu is not an one of Canonical's official Ubuntu derivatives, so arguably this is not a compelling reason to consider users-admin not phased out as of natty. But it has occurred to me that unless the Lubuntu project is planning to replace gnome-system-tools with something else, a number of users might continue relying on users-admin for some time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/685596 Title: users-admin doesn't report error when PolicyKit authentication fails -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
