Hmm. You reported the bug against the gnome-system-tools, so I thought that was a bug in users-admin - actually, you first experienced it with gnome-about-me, which is in gnome-control-center. But I can confirm it happens with users-admin, which partly uses the same code.
OTOH you say you've been able to reproduce it when creating an account, which means this happens *with users-admin, and the first time it's changed*, which changes the description of the issue. Then you say you were able to change it via user accounts (i.e. users-admin): so what? Do you mean users-admin hung when changing password for the new account (i.e. at account creation time), but changed the password correctly the second time you tried? And then what about gnome-keyring: how can it have asked you for your old password, since you were not able to set it for the new user (i.e. it was empty)? I'd like you to create a 'test' account and try changing the password many times using 'su test' and then 'passwd', as many times as you want. If the tool hangs at some point, or displays a message different than other times, we'll have an important information. Note that the code used to change your own password is not the same as the code used to change other user's passwords. So you can't get the same hang in both. -- [users-admin] Changing password many times in the same session hangs and corrupts it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544570 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
