so it seems for my case that we are stuck in "case PASSWD_STATE_NEW" of io_watch_stdout, because of an error of "Authentication token manipulation error".
If i force the state to go to PASSWD_STATE_RETYPE by adding else if(is_string_complete (str->str, "token", NULL)) { /* Advance to next state */ passwd_handler->backend_state = PASSWD_STATE_RETYPE; reinit = TRUE; } in the if of case PASSWD_STATE_NEW of io_watch_stdout, the interface doesn't freeze, but prompt me the same error message that i had the first time, i must so retype a second time the right new password. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661272 Title: changing user password causes hang in users-admin To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/661272/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
