Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Philip Muškovac (yofel)]

This happens because in raring KPythonPluginFactory is linked against libpython3 and userconfig doesn't work with python3 right now.

[Turbo (axelhc)]

Hi,

I can confirm this problem too. Please take a visit here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-workspace/+bug/1098423

Because I didn´t find this original when reported.

Regards.

Turbo.

A little bump.

Anything yet ??? The user management is very important (I miss it :-( ).

In the meantime, you can use "usermod". For example, if you installed VirtualBox in Kubuntu 13.04, first you must add your user to the "vboxusers" group and then close session and login again. In the Konsole:

sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers YourUserName

Regards

Turbo.

Works on 14.04 without crashing.

Closing my own bug as "Invalid" as package has been removed from
Ubuntu Archive, see bug #1234053 and is not included in any
current Ubuntu release. Replaced by user-manager.
