Public bug reported:
* Launch mugshot
* Clear out ALL the fields (First Name, Last Name, Initials, Email, etc)
* Attempt to launch mugshot again
It gives an error of: IndexError: string index out of range
The only way to fix this at the moment is to correct the mistake it made
under /etc/passwd
I had to change the entry from this:
flansuse:x:1000:1000:,,none,none:/home/flansuse:/bin/bash
To this:
flansuse:x:1000:1000::/home/flansuse:/bin/bash
It appears Mugshot does not properly modify and read the /etc/passwd
file if you clear ALL the fields (First Name, Last Name, Initials,
Email, etc)
Distro: Xubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Package: mugshot 0.2.5-0ubuntu0.1
** Affects: mugshot (Ubuntu)
