gnome-system-tools

+1, with multiples versions, same problem.

Mr.Elendig · 2009-07-20 12:43:52

The best way to get this solved quickly, is to do something about it yourself. If you don't know how to code, then get someone who do know to hack the tools so that they work on other distroes than the big 3,

I figured it was enough for a bug report. Add your comments here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15633.

Downgrade to dbus-1.2.4.6permissive-1 (and dbus-core-1.2.4.6permissive-1) works for me. So i think that it is a gnome-system-tools conflict with dbus, perhaps.

I'm also having this issue, hope it will be fixed soon.

edit: Do you also have problems with the fast-user-switch applet? I have only the current user and "Others" as menu entries, no Pidgin status, no Shutdown/Reboot/etc...

@kagan: I concluded the same thing. If you go to the bugtracker, I submitted a patch for system-tools-backends which made it work for me.

How i apply this patch?

PhotonX · 2009-08-10 13:09:42

@knopper: So what does this mean, how to make it work? Compiling it from source?

wonder · 2009-08-10 13:44:17

Yes, it works again.

PhotonX · 2009-08-10 15:55:14

Something is quite weird with my Pacman, it reports that the package database is up to date but doesn't find an update for system-tools-backend though the new version is already on the mirror server in my mirrorslist...

There's something that I'm doing wrong...

Teoulas · 2009-08-10 21:00:07

I installed the latest system-tools-backends version (2.6.1-1) but now I can't start any of the tools. I get an alert window saying that "The configuration could not be loaded, You are not allowed to access the system configuration".

EDIT: Problem solved. I had to reboot the machine. I guess starting the stbd daemon manually and then logging off and back on after adding myself to the stb-admin group wasn't enough...

Ok, today the update came through and everything is working fine. Thanks for fixing!

jduped · 2009-08-12 23:31:17

I haven't tried since I updated...I know this has been an issue for quite some time.

Only my users is editable.
All groups and users is disabled.

Tested with:
users-admin
gksu users-admin
gksu -l users-admin

Anyway, thanks wonder!

majiq · 2009-08-14 00:44:45

I don't know why sudo/gksu doesn't automatically unlock it, but if you do regular users-admin, you should be able to use the Unlock button to access the rest of the users and the groups.

loafer · 2009-08-14 09:43:45

The unlock works but then I can only see a few groups: root, users, my logged in user, policykit, gdm, stb-admin and vboxusers. The only users I can see are root and the users I have created.

sherlock · 2009-08-14 10:40:45

You can check /etc/group, /etc/users to see why. It can only edit users with ID more than 1000 and groups with ID more than 100.
It's not a bug, it's a feature.
May be it can be configured somehow )
