Zubuntu And Users, Gnome-system-tools
« on: January 15, 2009, 11:48:13 pm »
Hi all,
Still having fun playing around with zubuntu but I'm playing as root which makes me nervous!
I can create users from command line but gnome system tools doesn't seem to work.
I get the error "You are not allowed to access the system configuration" when running from root.
If I run "network-admin" from terminal, I get the error:
** (network-admin:1656): CRITICAL **: Failed to execute program /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch_helper: Success

Has anyone been able to get this running?
Has anyone been running as non-root?

Thanks
 Mike

Ubuntu has a handy GUI for managing users (adding/removing, permissions, etc.). I don't know what it's called off the top of my head, but it's probably what you're looking for.
