After few days this user told, that he can't change password, because about-me control center applet freezes forever when I'm trying to change password :( This bug is 100% reproducible: 1. login with some user 2. removed all symbols in /etc/shadow password field for that user 3. Choose System->Settings->"About Me" and then press on "Change Password.." button 4. Don't enter anything in "Old password" field (because password is empty - try to login in console for testing) and enter new password twice. Actual results: About-me control center applet freezes forever when trying to change password Expected tesults: 1. About-me control center applet's "Change Password" dialog should'nt ask for old password if there are no password (password is empty) - "Change Password" dialog shouldn't display field "Old password" or this field should be disabled in this dialog if there are no password (password is empty). Command-line tool for password changing - passwd command does exactly what user expect - it doesn't ask for old password (current password), when password is empty. 2. About-me control center applet should'nt freeze forever when trying to change password :) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/26939/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
