Title:
Cannot select my user from users list
Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I did some more playing around. And I suppose the problem is very
specific to me, I'm afraid.
When starting up lightdm, the greeter gives me 5 options:
UserA
UserB
UserC
Guest
Remote
I am UserB and when I am the last to have used the computer, UserB is
selected and I can enter my password. In that particular situation,
when I select any of UserC, Guest, Remote, I cannot reselect UserB.
Clicking on UserB simply doesn't do anything, however I can click to
select any other option. Just selecting UserA once, allows me to
select UserB again.
This phenomenon is limited to me, UserB, only. Loggin in as UserA or
UserC does not result in the same odd behaviour. For instance, I log
in as UserC and log out. Lightdm comes back up, UserC is selected and
I can select Guest and then click on UserC and UserC gets selected
without any problems.
UserA and UserC are both using Unity, whereas UserB uses XFCE. The
UIDs for User{A,B,C} are 1002,1001,1000, respectively. UserA however
is listed in /etc/lightdm/users.conf as a hidden user.
/etc/lightdm/users.conf:
[UserAccounts]
minimum-uid=1000
hidden-users=nobody nobody4 noaccess UserA
hidden-shells=/bin/false /usr/sbin/nologin
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf:
user-session=ubuntu
greeter-session=unity-greeter
I think this is the standard greeter, at least I didn't change it
intentionally. It shows up in the processes list like this:
1548 tty7 Ssl+ 0:04 \_ /usr/bin/X :0 -core -auth
/var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch -background none
