Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools
I am not able to add a user using the gnome gui. I use the following version of Ubuntu.
Description: Ubuntu 9.04
Release: 9.04
1. Go to System > Administration > Users and Groups.
2. Press Unlock and type password
3. Add a new user (any name will do), but I used 'testuser1' as example.
4. Close the dialogs again.
5. Again, go to System > Administration > Users and Groups.
the previously added user has now disappeared and can only be found in the manage groups dialog. No home directory has been made, I cannot do su 'testuser1'.
If it is the case that I am not privileged to add users, despite providing my administrative passwd, it is counterintuitive that I can still fill in the dialog and presumably add a new user.
version of gnome-system-tools: 2.22.2-0ubuntu4
As an attachment I have uploaded a screenshot video to clarify things.
Thanks for the detailed report. Could you run 'sudo killall system- tools-backends; sudo /usr/bin/ system- tools-bakends -nd' providing your password when required, and then reproduce the procedure listed in your report, and paste the messages printed on the screen here? That could be very helpful to me.
