Gnome-system-tools

Hi, I've been looking in the forums a solution to my problem, but I can't find anything. Well, here is my problem when I run gnome-power-manager (or any management application as sudo or root):
bash-3.2# gnome-power-manager
(gnome-power-manager:3220): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
I've tried adding me to stb-admin group and using the script posted in another post, but I can't solve this.
Thanks in advance.

You've probably already done this, but you need to start the stbd daemon. You can start it manually as root by:
# /etc/rc.d/stbd start
You can start stbd automatically at boot up by putting stbd in the daemons line of the /etc/rc.conf file.

Where is "users-admin" now that gnome-system-tools is deprecated ?

Hello everyone,
I have already used the "users-admin" package from gnome to manage the permissions of the users, but, since gnome 3.2 the gnome-system-tools package which contained the users-admin package has been deprecated and replaced by gnome-control-center. So my question is, how can I reinstall the users-admin application, or, use another gnome application to do the same thing ?
I don't really think that it is a good idea for Gnome to place an application as deprecated and not propose an alternative.
Thanks in Advance,
Luis Da Costa

It is not the same but still a good option XD I really don't understand why the gnome team dropped a good tool like users-admin :S...

[Solved]gnome-system-tools You are not allowed access to sys config

I did a FTP install of i686 Arch Linux on a friend's machine. I could not get gnome-system-tools to work, keep getting:
The configuration could not be loaded
You are not allowed access to the system configuration
So, I tried gnome-system-tools on an i686 Arch install on my machine, and gnome-system-tools worked. Then I did a pacman -Syu and fully updated the system. The updates included udev which now prints how long udev events took on boot up. After the updates, gnome-system-tools no longer works. Same symptoms as the new install.
Both machines have stbd in the /etc/rc.conf DAEMONS line. Both the user and root in both machines are part of the stb-admin group. Using gksu or launching as root in a terminal window results in the same problem. The problem seems to be in system-tools-backends which works in conjuntion with dbus as I get this error:
(time-admin:7607): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error communicating with the backends:
Process /usr/share/system-tools-backends-2.0/scripts/SystemToolsBackends.pl exited with status 127
gnome-system-tools and system-tools-backends are part of the community group, so as far as I know, writing a bug report is out. Both gnome-system-tools and system-tools-backends are out of date in community. system-tools-backends is version 2.4.1 and the current version is 2.6.0. I tried using makepkg to compile the new 2.6.0 version of system-tools-backends but it fails saying it needs dbus >= 1.1.2 but version of dbus is 1.0.2. So it appears that dbus is out of date also. That is a far as I got.
I know this has been a problem in the past, but I got it working until this latest update.
Anyone got any ideas on this?

When I entered the Original Post, I had rebuilt gnome-system-tools as this had fixed the problem the last time. When I went to rebuild system-tools-backends, I had decided I needed to try and build the latest version of it, which didn't work as stated above. By this time the lateness of the hour, and the current frustration level caused me to quit for the night and write this thread. I am fairly sure I did NOT rebuild the current system-tools-backends.
Anyway, deleting gnome-system-tools and system-tools-backends, then rebuilding the current version of both gnome-system-tools and system-tools-backends fixed the problem. Be sure to follow the post installation comments from system-tools-backends.
I wrote a bug report in the AUR.

Thanks for everybody's help and suggestions.

I've had the same problem with my users-admin and users-time... I've tried all the fixes from most of these posts... except for that string of code that someone wrote in this post: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=42910
for file in `pacman -Ql gnome-system-tools | grep desktop | cut -d" " -f2`; do cat $file | sudo sed 's/$^Exec=$$.*-admin$/\1gksudo \2/g' | sudo tee temp.desktop.tmp; sudo mv temp.desktop.tmp $file; done
I wasn't sure what this string actually would do, so I haven't tried it yet. I figured there would be an easier way of fixing this problem. Like a simple edit in the SystemToolsBackends.pl file.....
any help would be cool.

[SOLVED]GNOME-SYSTEM-TOOLS: The configuration could not be loaded

Hello there!
I'm a ubuntu user completely new to arch. I got my desktop up and running but there seems to be a problem setting up the gnome-system-tools program. Whenever I try to laaunch any application in this package I get this error message:
The configuration could not be loaded
You are not allowed to access the system configuration.
I tried the solution on this forum thread (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=45854 ), but to no avail. I am still getting the same error message. This is my DAEMONS line in rc.conf:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal stbd !network !dhcdbd !networkmanager wicd netfs crond alsa fam gdm)
I have added both my user and root to the stb-admin group, this is the part of my groups file that shows this:
stb-admin:x:103:root,abhishek
Can anyone please help me figure out where I'm going wrong.
Many thanks in advance.

I was reading post installation wiki and found the following command to reinstall the whole system:
pacman -S $(comm -3 <(pacman -Qq) <(pacman -Qqm))
As a few things were not going right and I was unable to solve the problems using the ordinary methods, I decided to run the above command and now everything seems to be working fine .Though I'm not sure that this will remain like that, as the process was inturrpted a couple of times such that I had to hard reset the laptop.
But everything seems to be going fine now - the system tools have started to work normally and another gnome-related problem has been solved.:D

Gnome admin tools?

How do I access the Gnome admin tools or how do I install them? In my 'Administration' menu there is only 'Login Window'. Where are they??
EDIT: Installed 'gnome-system-tools' from unstable, but isn't there supposed to be more?

No option to change Window Title Bar Font in gnome-tweak-tool

Hey there,
did a fresh install today on a Haswell-PC. But there's no option to change Window Title Bar Font in gnome-tweak-tool anymore? All the other options are there.
Is there a way to set the Window Title Bar Font elsewhere? Does someone know why this option was removed or is it due to my system somehow? I also don't see this option in the dconf-editor.

WINDOWS 8.1 - System Tools no longer displaying User and Group Settings after adding a new LOCAL user.

I jumped on my parents computer, which is on a domain. I added a new local user(with my live.com login) and gave it admin status. That's when the trouble began.
The main user profile disappeared. I used the command prompt fix (see other fixes) to add the missing user back into admin. I logged back in, and it set up the account for the first time (WTF?). I cannot access any files from the main account
(that I logged into just fine before to get this debacle started.)
When going to Local Computer Management --> System Tools, my users and groups tool is missing.
I ran lusrmgr.msc only to find out that the most current version of Windows 8.1 and this is what it said "This snapin may not be used with this edition of Windows 8.1. To manage user accounts for this computer, use the User Accounts tool in the
Control Panel." <---- Awesome! (that was sarcasm.)
I have spent over two hours in the User Account tool during the course of this problem only to prove that a picture of a computer is more useful that that "tool".
To anyone reading this ticket, the best advice I can offer you (as long as its not a crucial machine) is to back up what you can gain access to, format your hard-drive and reinstall windows and start over again. I wouldn't recommend reinstalling 8.1,
I would say go back to 7 and wait until 10 comes out. Windows 8 is the new Vista. Good luck!

Hello AhavahOlam,
I can understand your feelings.
If my understanding is right, after adding a new local user in domain-joined Windows 8.1, you can’t open the local users and groups.
Can you still add account by going to Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts\Manage Accounts?
As this computer is domain-based, it is recommended to contact the domain administrator to see if the option is blocked.

Python 2 is trying to import pyhon3 modules, gnome-tweak-tool broken

I can't start gnome-tweak-tool it complains

Why is this happening!? I had a similar issue a while back with python2 trying to import a (different) python3 module when trying to install something from the AUR but that was
fixed by doing
export $PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages
as on login my PYTHONPATH is set as /usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages, however this did not fix the gnome-tweak-tool issue.
my python3 sys.path is

System tools folder is empty - How can I restore the items?

Hi
MY System tools folder is empty.
Is there any way of restoring the items such as System restore, backup, scheduled tasks etc.
All these are accessible by other routes
Regards Fred

I have zipped up the folder on my computer and I have uploaded it to a filehost for you.
All you need to to is:
1. Visit http://www.filehost.gr/593219 , scroll to the bottom, wait 1 minute for your session to activate and download.
2. Unzip the files in the folder.
3. Cut the files and right click Start Menu and select Explorer All Users, find the System Tools folder and insert the items there.
If you notice the programs don't work, then there are some corruptions in your XP and you can either try and fix manually or I recommend doing a format with the restore disk as a safe bet to fix all problems on the computer - back up all your files to an external HDD or CD/DVD if you do though.
Good luck.

[Gnome 3] gnome-tweak-tool crashes after update

Todays update apparently adds config to edit the window borders as well as checking for 2 folders for themes / icons: ~/.themes and ~/.icons.
These folders were not available by default on my gnome 3 installation, shouldn't these directories be provided by metacity?

Probably should, but those two directories weren't there on my clean install. I just created .themes and .icons and restarted the application, and it worked. (Saw the bug report)
...and the fix has already been released per bugzilla.
