I have never used the program "users-admin". However, an odd thing just
happened. When I tried to start users-admin to see if it looked
familiar, I got the massage that I didn't have permission to run it. So
I checked the messagebus user in /etc/passwd, and it was okay. I then
retested all of the symptoms, reported in earlier postings, and they all
were failing once again However, rebooting the computer fixed
everything. So there's still an unexplained lingering intermittent
problem, which is very troubling.
When the entry in /etc/passwd was:
messagebus:x:104:112::/var/run/dbus:/bin/false
which put the messagebus user in group 112. There was already a valid group
with a gid of 112: ssl-cert
I didn't know an easy to find all of the files on my disk which were
owned by that group, so I ran:
sudo ls -l -R * | grep ssl-cert > ~/ssl-cert
(results attached) and didn't find any suspect files that were created
by the messagebus user while its default gid was 112. Therefore, it
looks like this wasn't a problem.
