2009-08-25 15:27:36 Bram Kuijper description Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools I am not able to add a user using the gnome gui. I use: 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 do '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, despite providing my administrative passwd, not privileged to add users (strange if this would be the case), it is counterintuitive that I can still fill in the dialog and presumable add a new user. version of gnome-system-tools: 2.22.2-0ubuntu4 As an attachment I will upload a screenshot video to clarify things.
