Greetings
yesterday after system disk failure, I reinstalled my Debian box. The default enviroment was gdm and gnome. So I proceeded to add some user-accounts. After this and closing the user administration tool rebooted the system to make a change in boot device priority, in bios screen. After this, and booting in debian, I noticed that there was a message saying "chown: root/admin no souch group" or something like this. This one followed by a ton of other messages about udev, groups and so on. Logging as the first user, created during installation, there was a message about the sound server that it was unable to initialize. I decided to reinstall. Succesfull install was followed by full install of kde. So I tried to add users with kusers. This time there was no problem. So I think this is a nasty bug in the user-administration tool of Gnome solely.
In my system there are two disks. One is system disk and the second is home disk. I didn't tried to reproduce the problem, but if you want I can send you detailed system configuration.
Best regards and thank in advance for the permission to post the problem in your list
