I can't read Chinese; can you translate it?

Is the issue 100% reproducible?
Comment 3 2637827727 2022-05-25 22:07:21 UTC 
Just a banner showing Error saving changes.
Reproducible? I'm afraid it is.

Then it's a bug in accountsservice that was fixed months ago. Ask your distro to update the package or backport the fix
