Created a new User account but Gnome-Shell show it as Administrador

aliasbody · 2011-11-21 02:15:42

Hello everyone,
I have a little problem, not important but a little bit persistant. As always to create an account with arch, I launch the adduser command in the terminal with my root account and then I fallow all the steps.

But I've noticed that gnome-shell in Arch Linux, when asking to insert the password, show "Administrator", but in Ubuntu with the same window, he show's my avatar and the name I've chosen for my account.

Who could I make the same thing happen in Arch Linux and Gnome 3 ?

Thanks in Advance,
Luis Da Costa

I am not sure I grasp your problem fully, but that administrator box you mention should be the one to ask your administrative rights to add the user account?
Once the adduser command is complete you have to set an initial password for it. If you are using the non-interactive one, that you do with:

sudo passwd yournewuser

If that is not what you mean, please clarify your question or/and post the screen output.

Thanks for you answer.

but no it is not what I mean :S. I have already selected a password when I created the account with adduser with the root user account.

This is the Gnome3 for my Ubuntu : (My groups : aliasbody adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare)

This is the same Message on my Gnome3 with Arch Linux (My groups : wheel users)

My question is, How can I do to have the same message as the Ubuntu version with my name instead of just "Administrator"

we are using vanilla policies

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41008

you can offcourse implement that yourself by just copying the rules in the right directories and adding your user to wheel group

In case you are wondering what happened to your post, I think you hit the "Report" link rather than the "Reply" Link.

It happens

BTW: Please make the image links inside your URLs into thumbnails. Those pictures are pretty big

Thank you for the clarification, but I can't help you more on that. Some links in the wiki address singular issues with respect to the vanilla policykit that wonder is referring to. But I have not seen any to replace the Administrator with the administrative user name.

@aliasbody yes. it doesn't work because we are missing the rules that does exactly what you want. the rules are in that report

Arch Linux
