Package: systemsettings Version: 4:6.3.4-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? I installed Debian 13 without formatting /home. I created a new user using the System Settings "Users" module. The module added the user to /etc/passwd* with different uid:gid from the settings for that user's home directory. As a result gdm3 and sddm locked up and wouldn't even return to their "select an account" pages. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Edited /etc/passwd to make uid:gid match settings for the home directory. * What was the outcome of this action? gdm3 and sddm no longer locked up. * What outcome did you expect instead? I had expected (or at least hoped) that the System Settings "Users" module would look in /home/whomever and ask "a home directory exists for that user; should I use uid and gid from the home directory when entering the account into /etc/passwd* (with a default of "yes")? -- System Information: Debian Release: 13.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 6.12.41+deb13-amd64 (SMP w/32 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages systemsettings depends on: ii kio6 6.13.0-6 ii libc6 2.41-12 ii libkf6authcore6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6colorscheme6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6configcore6 6.13.0-2 ii libkf6configwidgets6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6coreaddons6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6crash6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6dbusaddons6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6i18n6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6i18nqml6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6itemmodels6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6itemviews6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6jobwidgets6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6kcmutils6 6.13.0-2 ii libkf6kcmutilscore6 6.13.0-2 ii libkf6kiocore6 6.13.0-6 ii libkf6kiogui6 6.13.0-6 ii libkf6runner6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6service-bin 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6service6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6widgetsaddons6 6.13.0-1 ii libkf6windowsystem6 6.13.0-2 ii libkf6xmlgui6 6.13.0-1 ii libplasmaactivities6 6.3.4-1 ii libqt6core6t64 6.8.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt6gui6 6.8.2+dfsg-9 ii libqt6qml6 6.8.2+dfsg-7 ii libqt6quick6 6.8.2+dfsg-7 ii libqt6quickwidgets6 6.8.2+dfsg-7 ii libqt6widgets6 6.8.2+dfsg-9 ii libstdc++6 14.2.0-19 ii qml6-module-org-kde-kirigami 6.13.0-2 ii qml6-module-qtquick 6.8.2+dfsg-7 ii qml6-module-qtquick-controls 6.8.2+dfsg-7 ii qml6-module-qtquick-layouts 6.8.2+dfsg-7 systemsettings recommends no packages. systemsettings suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
