Public bug reported: Using Ubuntu Intrepid with all updates, I get an error attempting to add new users which doesn't save changes using the GUI and some problems with the shell, too. I ran user-admin from a su root shell, and as an admin user:
(users-admin:19686): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.) (users-admin:19686): Liboobs-CRITICAL **: create_dbus_struct_from_user: assertion `(login && password && homedir && shell)' failed (users-admin:19686): Liboobs-CRITICAL **: Not committing due to inconsistencies in the configuration, this reflects a bug in the application Further, oddly, I issued this command #sudo useradd ********** -U -p********** -b /home/******* And while a user was added, I was unable to log in using the user and password, and when checking the user with the GUI, there were no settings configured for the user. So, what's the problem? Any ideas?
