It expects that chfn will ask for password, but chfn on my gentoo system never does this. If i enable setting full name in login.defs (CHFN_RESTRICT frwh), then it asks for password (when it's not needed), and just freeze. If CHFN_RESTRICT doesn't contain 'f' (by default it doesn't), then full name must be changed using something like sudo chfn -f "New Name" login.
I think that changing full name in email settings and in passwd are different tasks. Why not change e-mail settings when chfn failed? I don't understand, why this commit is done: https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kde- baseapps/repository/revisions/8398bfba9d372f9c4fb3de597fbf7802e5f3a19c Maybe the right way to do this is try to execute chfn -f 1) without password 2) using kdesu And I think this must be done using separate button "Change system name" or something like this -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390396 Title: "About Me" in System Settings throws an error when changing details To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/390396/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
