Re: User Management broken after KDE 4.4.0 upgrade...

It took a lot of us working together to come up with the solution for this.

That's probably the single biggest strength of Linux and the Open Source community. Can you, in your wildest dreams, ever see M$ working as fast to identify and confirm a problem, and then come up with the solution, test and confirm it, and make the knowledge available to their user base as quickly? I think not!

Search KFN on Amarok crash as posted by Moonrise (most recent). He posted his fix to this.

@martosurf, have you installed any extra scripts to amarok before the upgrade , i know for one ulitmate lyrics don't seam to work w/ the newest amarok and causes a crash on start up.

Thanks guys this solved my kdesudo and my user management. I thought they were linked but I'm not sure how. All i know is when user management started working I went into my user and ticked sudo. I opened dolphin using kdesudo and now that works as well.

In User Management I am not a member of root or sudo. I can execute Dolphin with kdesudo with no problems:

kdesudo dolphin

kdesudo dolphin

yeh I don't think that had anything to do with it. I unchecked it and it is still working but either way this fix fixed both of my problems.

Thanks

Here is the solution to the User Manager issue.

Please have line 184 of python-qt4 in /usr/share/pyshared/PyQt4/uic/uiparser.py

from

bg_name = bg_i18n.string

to

bg_name = str(bg_i18n)

Thanks a lot buddy! this topic should be stickied!

Nope, nothing, thanks for asking

Great!
Thanks! This fixed both the User Management & the kdesu issue. Both are working fine.
BTW, I did my upgrade from init 1. The first time apt-get dist-upgrade didn't fully install all the packages so I reran apt-get dist-upgrade -f and everything installed fine.

I'm confused...........OK thats normal

BUT /usr/share/pyshared/PyQt4/uic/uiparser.py ........is a file and I find no refrence to bg_name = bg_i18n.string ....... in it espeshaley at line 184...?

and thars no python-qt4 in /usr/share/pyshared/PyQt4/uic/ so what am I missing?

vinny@desktop:~$ ls /usr/share/pyshared/PyQt4/uic/uiparser.py
/usr/share/pyshared/PyQt4/uic/uiparser.py
vinny@desktop:~$ ls /usr/share/pyshared/PyQt4/uic/
Compiler exceptions.py __init__.py objcreator.py properties.py pyuic.py widget-plugins
driver.py icon_cache.py Loader port_v2 pykdeuic4.py uiparser.py
vinny@desktop:~$

allso I seam to have some packages held back

Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages have been kept back:
python-kde4 python-qt4 python-sip4
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.

so how do I find out why thare held back and what to do about it ?

Re: [User Fix] User Management broken - KDE 4.4.0

The User Management bug appears to have been fixed by an update. I installed KDE 4.4 on my Intel system yesterday and discovered this. I did notice that Nepomuk had to be enabled to put a stop to random errors, other than that things seem to be working pretty decent.

I checked my 64bit Kubuntu KK with the KDE 4.4 upgrades and latest updates and the fix was already there. Somebody's watching your work, Exploder!
