Hi,

There is a problem in users-admin gui. I installed a UNR 9.10 to my son's netbook just arrived, and I changed his password : the users-admin gui stated the password had been changed successfully. But when I tried next to open Synaptic, or do "sudo -s" in console to check, the new password had not been registered by the system.

More weird : I created his mail account in Evolution, and the assistant knew the new password but not the old one. 

I tried to restart X : same, the new password didn't work to login, I had to give the old one.

I tried a full reboot : same, the new password didn't work to login, again I had to give the old one.

To fix the problem I opened a console and type passwd, then the old password, then twice the new one, and that solved it.

I thought it was a pity that it was not yet fixed in the gui, so I wanted to report it. I tried to take a look in the logs and didn't find anything relevant there.
Bye the way, the launchpad place is very messy and I would not know where to look (branches ? how to get there without reading plenty pages that don't lead me where I need to go ? there used to be a welcome page with just a search field for the key name related to bugs, and the Ubuntu version concerned : it has disappeared ?)
Else, ubuntu-bug tool does not work and I don't know howto report a bug about it : bug-buddy don't want to start with the command:
'bug-buddy --packagel=apport' so I don't know how to report it. I did a screenshot that I uploaded there:

to be very clear, my internet connection is 1mo Adsl and *works perfectly*. Another person at the #ubuntu chan on freenode could reproduce the bug too.

Best regards,
