| andrew_ | hello, i'm trying to use the users settings tool to manage my user accounts and it keeps throwing an "unknown error". i am totally unable to create valid user accounts using the graphical tools now. | 00:26 |
|---|---|---|
| andrew_ | i can't even delete the messed up users that were added by the utility | 00:27 |
| andrew_ | it says there was an unknown error communicating with the backends | 00:31 |
| andrew_ | that's as specific as it gets when run from the terminal | 00:32 |
| andrew_ | ok i'm back | 00:59 |
| andrew_ | it looks like there is some kind of system hang on the backend. if i close the users and groups utility after making a change and then open it again it hangs for almost a full minute before displaying properly. | 00:59 |
| andrew_ | can someone PLEASE help me, i don't want to do a full reinstall for such a minor issue. | 01:18 |
| rfm | andrew_, all I can tell you is what I do, which is use the adduser/deluser CLI. The whole architectire of the gui is opaque to me (and it isn't even in the normal Xubuntu install) | 01:24 |
| andrew_ | i figured out the problem. the /etc/skel/ folder had too much data in it. i was having it copy the themes folder and the icons folder from the admin account. | 02:01 |
| andrew_ | it was causing lag | 02:01 |
| alan_ | :X | 04:17 |
