2015-01-16 20:00:39 Brian Murray summary patch - fix current user's info retrieval fix current user's info retrieval
2015-01-23 13:10:29 Vlad Orlov description The issue with retrieving the current user's info is already fixed in Debian and Ubuntu 15.04, but system-tools-backends remains unpatched in 14.04 and 14.10. The patch is in the attachment. Please add it in 14.04 and 14.10. Thanks in advance. [Impact] When a user tries to change his full name via users-admin or mate-users-admin, an error in system-tools-backends prevents him from doing that, and the name remains unchanged (see [Other Info]). The problem is already fixed in Debian and Ubuntu 15.04, but system-tools-backends remains unpatched in 14.04 and 14.10. The attached patch fixes the issue and allows user to change the full name without any warnings or errors appearing. [Test Case] Run users-admin or mate-users-admin from the terminal. Click on the button for changing your full name, change the name to something else and click "OK". You'll see a warning message in the terminal: Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error communicating with the backends: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 255 The full name won't be changed (see [Other Info]). [Regression Potential] I consider the regression risk to be low here. The patch has been already tested by me and gnome-system-tools maintainer in Debian (see the corresponding Debian bug report). [Other Info] If https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1411584 isn't fixed, the new name will appear in the GUI, but it really won't be changed. You can see that for yourself by simply restarting users-admin or mate-users-admin - it will show the old name then. If that bug is fixed, an error message dialog will appear, and the name in the GUI won't be changed.
