Description Marc 2022-01-30 19:06:06 UTC 
SUMMARY
I am trying to change my avatar or email address in systemsettings --> users. For my avatar picture, I've tried a picture from my phone (.jpg) and also the standard avatars that are available. When I click apply the message "Could not get permission to save user xxx". I think this is the same message that appears, when I click cancel in the PolicyKit1 window, but the window doesn't open. When I try to change my sddm theme in systemsettings --> Startup and Shutdown --> Login Screen (SDDM) the PolicyKit1 window does show up and I can enter my password and everything just works fine.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open systemsettings --> users
2. Select different avatar or enter an email adrees
3. Click apply

OBSERVED RESULT
Error message "Could not get permission to save user xxx".

EXPECTED RESULT
PolicyKit1 window opens, I insert my password, no error message and avatar or email are set.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:  Arch Linux; Kernel: 5.16.3-arch1-1 (64bit)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I installed Arch freshly on this device where the bug happens so it never worked on this system (I already tried reinstalling all packages and I already reinstalled my system).
Comment 1 Marc 2022-01-30 19:53:01 UTC 
I have another laptop with Arch and KDE installed (pretty much the same setup on the laptop that has the bug), but the system on this one is not freshly installed. I tried changing my avatar or email and it worked. Afterwards I updated my system (using pacman) and it doens't work anymore. So this bug seems to be in a current version of the systemsettings or it's dependencies.  (Unfortunately I didn't update this laptop very recently, because I just use it sometimes, so maybe this bug is a little bit older). I don't know how I can provide useful information for solving this problem, but I would like to help!
Comment 2 Viorel-Cătălin Răpițeanu 2022-01-30 21:03:04 UTC 
I can confirm that I'm also unable to change my user settings (like email) from the users kcm.

Comment 8 Nate Graham 2022-02-02 16:57:54 UTC 
Does anyone know if this is an upstream regression that's being fixed, or is the breakage expected/unrevertable and we have to adapt to it?

Comment 18 Antonio Rojas 2022-02-10 06:59:46 UTC 
The bug is fixed as far as KDE is concerned. What you are seeing is a different, upstream issue.
