[Bug 1289807] Re: User Accounts endless loop (never opens)

 

I have the same problem as originally described.  However, I have the
following message when running

unity-control-center user-accounts

in a terminal

My messages are

libwayland_ltst-client.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/unity-control-center-1/panels/libuser-accounts.so

In my case, libwayland_ltst-client.so.0 is not in my system.  In fact it
belongs to a the package libwayland-ltst-client0 that is a Precise
upgrade of the HWE to the Trusty stack.  I upgraded from 12.04.5 ->
14.04.1.  So I cannot understand why libwayland_ltst-client.so.0 is
being called.

If I open Applications>Systems Settings>any other applet, they work.
However, if I start User Accounts, the panel never comes up, and all
apps no longer work even though their tab appears.  If I try to kill the
process, I have to do it over and over.  I can also click the X on the
window multiple times, and the window will eventually close.

Here is what I get if I use the dpkg command:

dpkg -s libwayland-ltst-client0

Description: wayland compositor infrastructure - client library
 Wayland is a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as well
 as a C library implementation of that protocol. The compositor can be
 a standalone display server running on Linux kernel modesetting and
 evdev input devices, an X application, or a wayland client
 itself. The clients can be traditional applications, X servers
 (rootless or fullscreen) or other display servers.
 .
 This package ships the library that implements the client side of
 the Wayland protocol.

Fortunately, the command

users-admin

is still around.  I believe it would not have been there had I done a
clean install.  Perhaps I would not have had this problem if I had done
a clean install.  In any case, there is definitely something wrong if
the commnad

unity-control-center user-accounts

wants to load libwayland_ltst-client.so.0.

Title:
  User Accounts endless loop (never opens)

Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-331” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “unity-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I open the control center and click on User Accounts, the User Accounts never open.  It flashes and goes back to the control center screen.  The program then becomes unable to be closed.  I am required to kill the process manually.
  I cannot open any other options, after I click on the User Accounts option. 
  All options do the same thing... flash their screen and return to the control center, except the ones that launch an external application (U1, Language settings, etc...)
  Clicking on Time settings completely crashed the program, when it was in this state.
  Normally EVERY option just works as expected (other than the User Accounts)

  Obviously I am using Trusty (since this program just came into existence)
  Installed: 14.04.3+14.04.20140305.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 14.04.3+14.04.20140305.1-0ubuntu1

  I can provide any more info, and testing needed
