Comment 2 for bug 599441

I pasted /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 into a terminal and got this:

pfred1@spot:~$ /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1

(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:1828): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `_PolkitError'

(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:1828): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed

Then I ran users-admin again with the same results. As my user the "Click to make changes" button does nothing?

I never tried this application before today. The only reason I tried it was because of something I read about PulseAudio and its group settings on some web page. I had another problem earlier that caused me to look for a way to get the sound control back onto my gnome-panel. Long story, if interested see my other bug report.

If they are related I do not know. Sorry I could not be of any more help.

Could you run
/usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1
and retry?

Status in “system-tools-backends” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: system-tools-backends

1) Ubuntu  9.10  - the Karmic Koala
2) gnome-system-tools 2.28.1-0ubuntu2
3) When I clicked on the "Click to make changes" button in users-admin I expected a dialog box to pop up so I could type in my password.

4) Nothing happened.

P.S. sudo users-admin in a terminal did make the application pop up fully functional. Just without the "Click to make changes" button at all. Thanks for reading this.
