[00:26] <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.
[00:27] <andrew_> i can't even delete the messed up users that were added by the utility
[00:31] <andrew_> it says there was an unknown error communicating with the backends
[00:32] <andrew_> that's as specific as it gets when run from the terminal
[00:59] <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.
[01:18] <andrew_> can someone PLEASE help me, i don't want to do a full reinstall for such a minor issue.
[01:24] <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)
[02:01] <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
