system-config-users 1.2.72-1.fc8 hangs when adding a new user

[Guido Ledermann]

Hello,

when I ty to add a new user with all the default parameters, the GUI hangs
and I have to kill it. After that, I can see, that the group is added
correctly, but the user isn't. Can anyone confirm this?

This 'works for me'.

Created a new, test user.  Everything appears to have gotten created properly.

Reran command and delete test user.  Also OK.

Strange. Even if I try to delete the newly created group the GUI hangs. Can
this be a language related problem? I'm running fedora in German.

Please open a terminal, run system-config-users from the terminal, and
check whether any error messages are printed on the terminal.

On my US-English system, opening terminal window, running s-c-users,
create user, delete user, produces no messages (and works).

Okay, my messages are:
[root@cookie ~]# system-config-users
Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve
property `GtkTreeView::odd-row-color' of type `GdkColor' from rc file value
"((GString*) 0x880fc30)" of type `GString'
*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/python2: double free or corruption (out):
0xbfd86088 ***

How can I temporarily change my language?

Okay, I changed my system language to Englisch (USA) rebooted but still the
same problem. :(

Can you
yum install --enablerepo=development-debuginfo python-debuginfo

and then
valgrind system-config-users
?

Oops, that just traced consolehelper.
Try
PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/system-config-users valgrind /usr/bin/python /usr/share/system-config-users/system-config-users.py
instead.

Jakub

[Guido Ledermann]

Thanks, Jakub. You won't believe it, but it works with your commandline. It
produces a lot of output. How can I send the output to a file to post it
here?

Well, today I could test this on another machine. And the same buggy
behaviour...  GUI hangs.

I reproduced this problem too.  It hangs after adding the custom
group for the user and before appending to shadow, passwd, and
before creating the home directory.

It also works for me with valgrind.  I don't believe I have selinux enabled.
Command-line adduser works.

Thanks for testing, this should be fixed in libuser-0.56.6-2.  Or enable
SELinux ;)

Great! I'll test it asap.

SELinux running?
I had similar problem that resulted from a bad SELinux labeling.

[Guido Ledermann]

Selinux is diabled.
