kde overcomes this problem by adding '_#' to the usergroup in case it allready exists. (ie 'admin_1').
The same problem would btw arrise as soon as you add a new user with any name where a group with this name (gui<10000) already exists. So in any case gnome shoul first check, if the GUI allready exists and if so either error or name the group differently. I think this is a quite dangerous bug, since it affects especially inexperienced users which rely on the gui. Destroying the user groups managment with a username should not be possible. best Björn -- Creating user with username 'admin' hoses admin group, sudo config https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/236305 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
