The tool crashed on first use. It did not crash on later uses, but silently failed to add users or groups. First use sequence: start users-admin manage-groups close #manage groups unlock, and authenticate manage-groups # added new group add user # crashed Second use sequence: start users-admin unlock, and authenticate add user, and added user with all required info, but did not find previous group closed users-admin sudo -s # and went to /etc to check passwd, group etc, but found no trace of new user or group" ".

Thread 1 (process 29148)
How to reproduce the crash : 1. open it 2. unlock 3. "manage groups" 4. add a group (which will be an noname-one) 5. quit "manage groups" 6. "add user"
Are you still able to reproduce this problem? The trace looks strange to me, because in privileges_table_set_from_profile() there's no call to strcmp(). I guess that's a bug with Apport, but without more information I can't do much - and the source has changed since you reported the bug.
Closing this bug report as no further information has been provided. Please feel free to reopen this bug if you can provide the information asked for. Thanks!
