[Bug 1090656] Re: Passwords aren't accepted anymore by PolicyKit

[Ken Jackson]

I am very computer literate with any WINDOWS OS.  Until last month I had
never heard of UBUNTU.  As but one of the growing number of very unhappy
MICROSOFT/WINDOWS users In started looking for alternatives.  Since my
first PC in the mid 1990's I have never used a MAC or LINUX.  My first
impressions of UBUNTU were quite favorable.  Right now I'm about ready
to dump the whole idea.

After providing all requested information and more when I signed up with
UBUNTU a couple of weeks ago, hand-writing all digital information as a
backup, I am certain of my profile, user name and password.  Just this
instant I got a pop-up window indicating a problem was discovered with
the question - did I want to report it?  I always make every effort to
make such sites as this user friendly so two-way communication is very
important.  I clicked on "YES", I was asked to authenticate and my
CORRECTLY - as properly spelled, proper upper and lower case usage and
SUBMIT - Iget a quick reply that my information was WRONG.  NO - you
have issues you are simply not addressing as the multiple almost
identical questions are posted.  How long would it take to research the
BUG, write a fix for it and spend the time pounding out the lines of
code then PUBLISHING it for everyone's use?

I speak, read and write Windows 7 Professional from log on to REG EDIT
and back.  Here, I have no idea what a"POLYCY KIT" is and an answer
indicating that a "file should be written with "xxxxvvcvnsxc" looks just
like that to me.

Two more days jumping through some weird to me hoops and I'm outta here!
I would hang on if this well thought out posting was replied to in
"1-2-3, A-B-C, so you're new to UBUNTU and LINUX, point your thinking in
this direction and let's start with an everyday explanation of things
you guys eat drink and sleep" and I'll gladly endure the training as I
AM THE IGNORANT ONE HERE and hopefully can promote UBUNTU to a long list
of friends and family who are devout and ever growing more resentful
WINDOWS users.

Bug description:
  Myself and plenty of others are posting pretty much the same question
  and no one is getting a reply. All you're saying is it must be us
  typing our passwords wrong but its NOT. Don't try putting the blame
  off because you don't know you're software or something. So, how about
  helping somebody out before people start removing your crap.
