This bug also affects me. Fresh installed Ubuntu 16.04 followed by a "sudo apt-get update" and a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".
Cannot change my own account image AND cannot change my own "full name" (I mean the name that is displayed during login, not the real user name). But I can change the image and full name of everyone else. If I create a second account with administrator privileges, this account can change my image and full name. The problem does also not occur when using the console command "chfn -f". If I remember correctly, I had no problems after a fresh installation without any updates or upgrades. So maybe it has something to do with the recent updates? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1580254 Title: Cannot change accounts images Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: HOW TO REPRODUCE: 1.
