Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

Hardy (Alpha 2)

It is impossible to create a desktop user from users-admin. First I click the "unlock" button, then "Add user", then enter a username and realname, and a password, and click on "OK".

The terminal returns the following message:

(users-admin:17605): Liboobs-CRITICAL **: create_dbus_struct_from_user: assertion `(login && password && homedir && shell)' failed

(users-admin:17605): Liboobs-CRITICAL **: Not committing due to inconsistencies in the configuration, this reflects a bug in the application

Segmentation fault
