Seriously, a user cannot be expected to get into a terminal and go searching their entire system trying to fix up GIDs that were incorrectly set by some package. That isn't even a possible general workaround.
This bug is a SHOWSTOPPER for Ubuntu Lucid. The majority of users are not going to know how to properly setup a user or group account from the command line and get /etc/skel files copied and anything else that needs set. Most users are going to use the menues and go System | Administration | Users and Groups and hit the error which prevents them from doing anything with Users or Groups. There is an underlying bug here in some package that is incorrectly setting the wrong GID or looking at the wrong GID in /etc/group. The bug I opened, Bug #598909, right now does not appear to be a duplicate of this bug. All the other cases seem to be centered around duplicate GID's. That is not the case with Bug #598909. If you want them linked then forget about duplicate GID's entirely. There is something else going on here. -- fails to run lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295405 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
