Title:
Using sudo to run nautilus with root permission to change the owner of
a folder causes a crash
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I ran a window of nautilus using sudo, to get root permissions.
Then I tried to change the owner of a folder. (It was really an hdd mounted
in that folder if that matters.)
I set the owner to "Haakon" in the gui, and nautilus crashed.
Reopening nautilus to fix this resulted in more crashing, with the same
error: "User \"Haakon\" does not exist".
My real username would be "haakon", and when going back and setting it
manually using chown, nautilus happily accepted it, and stopped choking on that
folder.
(Does nautilus convert properly between upper and lower case?)
