Just ran into this bug. Clean installation of Ubuntu Desktop 8.04.
Running "users-admin" from console works as expected.
Running "users-admin" or "sudo users-admin" from remote connection (e.g. ssh
X11 forwarding, NXClient, etc) does not allow administrative access to unlock
the tool.
The error given is:
** (users-admin:9673): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for
process '9673'
"ck-list-sessions" output below shows minor differences between a local
and remote session.
Session1:
uid = '1000'
realname = 'Gilbert Mendoza,,,'
seat = 'Seat1'
session-type = ''
active = TRUE
x11-display = ':0'
x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
display-device = ''
remote-host-name = ''
is-local = TRUE
on-since = '2008-05-29T16:48:47Z'
idle-since-hint = '2008-05-29T17:09:07Z'
Session3:
uid = '1000'
realname = 'Gilbert Mendoza,,,'
seat = 'Seat3'
session-type = ''
active = TRUE
x11-display = 'localhost:10.0'
x11-display-device = ''
display-device = '/dev/pts/0'
remote-host-name = 'hostnamewashere.local'
is-local = FALSE
on-since = '2008-05-29T21:10:32Z'
