I have attached the backported patch of the changes from the above mentioned 0.6.37-1ubuntu4 and 0.6.37-1ubuntu5 to trusty's 0.6.35-0ubuntu5 accountsservice.
This needs to be put into the debian/patches/ directory and added to debian/patches/series and debian/patches/ubuntu.series I have successfully built and tested packages with this using pbuilder. btw: I think the 2003-dont-use-max_uid-from-login.defs.patch should be removed from the debian/patches/ directory in trusty, since it is not used there. @Robert: would You please build and upload an official package for trusty? ** Patch added: "backport of MAX_UID and nobody patches to trusty" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1290785/+attachment/4144540/+files/2003-dont-use-max_uid-from-login.defs.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290785 Title: Users with UID > 60000 are invisible in login and Settings->User unless /etc/login.defs updated Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “accountsservice” source package in Trusty: Triaged Bug description: [Impact] Users of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with UID > 60000 will not show in the greeter or system settings without editing UID_MAX in /etc/login.defs. This was not required in 12.04 LTS. In 12.04 LTS users were only hidden if they had UID < UID_MIN. In 13.10 this was changed to UID < UID_MIN or UID > UID_MAX. [Test Case] 1. Create a user with a UID > UID_MAX: $ adduser --uid 60001 big-uid 2. Restart system Expected result: "big-uid" is shown in the greeter. Once logged in "big-uid" is shown in system settings. Observed result: "big-uid" is not shown in the greeter (14.04 LTS, 14.10) "big-uid" is not shown in system settings (13.10, 14.04LTS, 14.10) [Regression Potential] This could cause users that were previously hidden to be shown. This seems unlikely to be a problem as all system created user accounts are less than UID_MIN and there doesn't seem be a convention to use accounts > UID_MAX for this case.
