GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 529228
Unable to create groups
Last modified: 2009-07-26 20:27:59 UTC
It is currently not possible to create a group with users-admin. Quoting from https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/205144 """ I cannot add a group using "Users and Groups" from the system tools menu. Steps to reproduce: - Start "Users and Groups" from the menu. - Unlock with the PolicyKit button - Click Manage Groups - Click Add Group - Enter any group name. It does not matter if you select group members to be added to the new group from the list box. - Click OK Expected: The group is added to the group list in the parent window. Actual result: An empty entry is appended to the list box. - Clicking to see the details opens the previous window but with no group name in the input box. - Clicking Delete asks if you are sure to delete group »(null)«. """ This is due to the chosen group name not being retrieved from the dialog.
Created attachment 109630 [details] [review] A patch to get the chosen group name from the dialog Here is the patch that I created to fix this problem. Thanks, James
Ubuntu is still using James Westby patch, but this bug is still not fixed in GST itself.
Patch looks good. Thanks James.
Andy: as the g-s-t are unmaintained, please commit that fix if you think it's good and you tested it. Feel free to do so with other bugs too!
Yeah, I'm working with Thomas Andersen at the moment to get gst maintained again. At the moment, I don't have any git/bugzilla powers, so I'm stuck just commenting about what I would do if I could :)
Great, so we are three on the boat now! Then please just assign the bugs to me, I'll commit the patches when I can (holidays for now...).
And thanks for this one - obviously, we needed to include it... Pushed as 6a5cd519dfd9b95b419ab737c19bf87cd0c5124f.
