Hello to all,
I just installed a new Debian 11 system, and I choose KDE Plasma as my desktop environment.
I only having a problem by change my users settings.
At my Debian install, I define a root user account. After install, I've tried to go to the settings/user settings and I found that I can't change any setting on my users :
1. First I hed just one user, "marc". I tryed to add an email and make it an "Administrator", but I had an error when applying the changes.
2. I then try to add a 2nd user "cat". It did work, but when I try to change it to admin or add the email address, I had the same error than before.
3. Using the terminal, I add "marc" to the sudoers file. But even than I wasn't abble to add the users email or change "cat" account to admin.
Can youpeople help me to figure out what is happening?
Thanks in advance for all your help,
Best regards,
Marc

org.kde.kcm_users: "org.freedesktop.Accounts.Error.Failed" "file '/home/mario/.face' is not a regular file"
If I choose an avatar seems working

That is one of the problems which I meant with my mail of 10/22 with the

subject "org.freedesktop.accounts.policy"
Either the user has to be a member of the group 'sudo', or you have to edit /
usr/share/polkit-1/org.freedesktop.accounts.policy.
With a single user system sudo might not be a problem, with a multi-user
system you have to edit '/ etc / sudoers' quite laboriously if not everyone
should be allowed to do everything.
I would therefore rather edit org.freedesktop.accounts.policy and use
'<allow_active> auth_self </allow_active>' instead of 'auth_admin' in the
corresponding sections.
Then you have to authenticate yourself with your own password.
