The upstream mailing list is dead since 2011: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/system-tools-list/ In other words, this project looks dead: http://www.gnome.org/projects/gst/ I doubt that we will fix it by ourselves. |

No problem, if thats the case please could you tell me how to graphically add a user in the new Xfce session as I cannot see anything obvious? (I have added a user via terminal and the 'adduser' command however I cannot log in as them so I wanted a graphical solution. |
|
Why can't you log as the user that you created? I'm sorry, I don't have any other graphical tool to suggest. A quick google search seems to suggest that gnome-system-tools is the usual choice for Xfce. It seems to work for a normal user but fails badly as you saw when run as root. We have this conversation here as well: https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/kali-meta/merge_requests/7 |
|
I am unaware why I cant log in as that user. When I enter their credentials at the login page the screen goes black for approximately 2 seconds then I get taken back to the login page and the text I have entered is deleted. The code I used us below: root@kali:~# adduser test |
|
I did the same useradd/usermod here and am able to log my created user in. |
