Thanks for that report. The bug you describe looks severe, yet difficult to track down. One strange detail is that you don't say you modified anything using users-admin. If that's the case, that tool should not have committed any changes to the system, so it wouldn't be its fault. Moreover, the root password is really a strange detail. ;-)
Have you experienced that problem again? Without precise testcases, I'm afraid we cannot do much. ** Changed in: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- users-admin erased the content of /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/357420 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
