RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Michal Haško 2010-06-29 09:26:45 UTC 
Description of problem:
Changing user information in Applications -> Settings -> System Settings ->
-> About Me makes the application stop responding

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdebase-workspace-4.3.4-19.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open System Settings
2. click About Me
3. change some user information such as name, organization or email
4. click apply, you will be prompted for password
5. input any string (doesn't need to be the actual pw) to the password dialog

i can reproduce this issue on my machine too.
Comment 4 Than Ngo 2010-09-30 14:08:48 UTC 
Michal, could you please try the new 	kdebase-4.3.4-4.2 package from http://karlsruhe.str.redhat.com/rhel6/	 ? This issue should be fixed in this new package

thanks
Comment 5 Michal Haško 2010-10-01 08:04:57 UTC 
The kdebase-4.3.4-4.2 version fixes the issue with non-responsiveness,
but if the password dialog is canceled, the apply button is still disabled (which shouldn't be).

Please fill the "Fixed In Version" field and flip the bug to MODIFIED next time you need verification so proper workflow is ensured.

that the apply button is still disabled, is another bug and we need a separate bugzilla report for this. Could you please fill a new bug? thanks

The no-responsiveness issue is also fixed in this package.
