I can confirm this on Intrepid-beta! gnome-system-tools: 2.22.1-0ubuntu1
But I even do not have a %-sign in the password, but just normal english alphabet characters. When i start the program from the Terminal like that: users-admin The dialog shows up. If I click on the [Unlock] button I get the "Authenticate" dialog. After some time, even when I did not enter my password I get a "Could not authenticate. An unexpected error has occured." On the Terminal I can see the following message: ** (users-admin:8312): CRITICAL **: Did not receive a reply. Possible cause include: the remote application did not send a reply., the message bus sceurity policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. When I open users-admin using sudo sudo users-admin The dialog shows up, but the [Unlock] button is greyed out. On the Terminal I get the message: ** (users-admin:8443): CRITICAL **: Unable to lookup session information for process '8443' I just did an install of Ubuntu intrepid-beta CD and upgraded the packages, having just one user with a fairly simple test password. What can I test more? If others can confirm this, I think this is a severe bug! sandoz -- Cannot authenticate user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200634 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
