2014-12-19 08:31:10 Christopher A. Chavez description In users-admin (a.k.a. Users Settings), under Manage Groups/Group Settings, while the listed groups available may have more than 16 characters, when viewing a group's properties the Group name field in Basic Settings only shows the first 16 characters (e.g. "chrome-remote-desktop" is truncated as "chrome-remote-de") . Additionally, this prevents creating a group with a name longer than 16 characters using users-admin. (I understand that the system limit may have been 16 characters historically; man groupadd reports it is currently 32 characters.) In users-admin (a.k.a.

Present in both 14.04 (gnome-system-tools 3.0.0-3ubuntu4) and 14.10 (3.0.0-3ubuntu5).
