Much thanks for achieving that painful task. Comparing with normal behavior of the backends, it seems that everything is working fine, i.e. it's waiting for calls from D-Bus - which is quite sad for solving this bug... :-p
So it could be more of a D-Bus issue. Could you run 'sudo dbus-monitor --system' and then run users-admin twice, separating the two logs (type a few RETURN in the console before you run it the second time)? I'm still hoping some error message could be shown. Else, you could 'sudo killall polkitd; sudo /usr/libexec/polkitd' and then try running users-admin, and posting the logs from polkitd. I could be that polkitd is blocking the backends for some reason before they can answer to the GUI... -- users and groups prog blocked on first launch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/411533 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
