Hi
I can’t use the bug report thing so I post here instead, maybe some other if they also have it can file a bug report.
#1 - I cant create a user within Users as before in 24.04. I get error “Failed to add account - running ‘/usr/sbin/adduser’ failed: Child process exited with code 255”
I get this 100% of the time. The account gets greated but is disabled
#2 - Files n folders created within /etc/skel doesn’t work. The file or folders never gets created when a new user logs in.
I have to note, these two issues have not been a problem with any other versions as I can remember.
Moved to Support and Help (for now).
Discourse is not the place to report bugs.
Please refer to the documentation:
https://documentation.ubuntu.com/project/contributors/qa-and-testing/report-a-bug/
What do you mean?
Everyone is not comfortable with your data collecting, but its ok. You can delete this post, I will find help elsewhere then.
That may refer to the ubuntu-bug command which is unreliable for a lot of people. If it doesn’t work then one should try apport-cli or just report via the web interface.
when I click that link, it gets routed to https://documentation.ubuntu.com/project/contributors/qa-and-testing/report-a-bug/
and even if I put it in manually Bugs : Ubuntu and click file a bug report, its get thrown back to that very same link.
As user or sysadmin as me, thats a no go. I know you want the development to be in the open, but I wish to choose which data I send and if you ask something I cant send, then we stop that bug report there.
What happens if you go directly to this url:
The whole redirect shenanigans is frustrating for the first experience, I agree. It was added because we used to (and still do) get a huge number of incredibly low-quality bug reports. These resulted in a huge amount of developer time going back and forth to prise details from the user necessary for bug triage and resolution.
As a technical expert, I’m sure you appreciate the frustration on the other side when people file “contentless bugs”.
It’s still possible to use this format, though, to jump directly to the bug filing form manually.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/{$PACKAGE_NAME}/+filebug
However, if you’re not willing to run ubuntu-bug, then your bug might not get addressed quickly, if it’s not of sufficient detail or easily reproducible.
thank you, that works
I usually only do all my stuff in the autoinstall part and thats were it is hardest to get help (well community help). I understand the developers side but it also clashes with my work as I cannot share just about everything in the OS, scripts, cloud-init and so on.
I am not a single user, I have thousands of students to satisfy…haha
