Bug#493208: systemsettings: Complains after asking for password
Package: systemsettings
Version: 4:4.1.0-1
Severity: normal
In systemsettings, the "About Me" section: I tried to change my name,
and was asked for my password, which I expected. But even though I write
the correct password, I get a window with title "Sorry - Systemsettings"
containing the message:
********
As error occurred and your password has probably not been changed. The
error message was: chfn: Permission denied.
********
Going back to systemsettings later shows that the name has been
changed successfully.
Best regards
Torquil Sørensen
