Many systems have multiple ways to add a user (different GUI's as well as `adduser` versus `useradd`). Is it possible that a different tool was used for the problem user? If not, perhaps something different in that user's configuration caused the tool to use a different logic path and encounter a bug -- either never patched in 2012-2013 or recently introduced. > > Thank you. > > -- > François Patte > UFR de mathématiques et informatique > Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 > Université Paris Descartes > 45, rue des Saints Pères > F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 > Tél. +33 (0)6 7892 5822 > http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte > > > ___ > users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > > -- George N.

I don't want to do that: I dislike gnome or kde and do not want to introduce a lot of dependancies I solved the problem but I am still wondering why this issue hapenned: lightdm uses accountservice and for other users there is file /var/lib/AccountsService/users/user-name which seems to has been created by adduser when their account was created. Why, for this particular user this file was not created, I don't know! I deleted and recreated the account but this file was not created and I had to do it manually This file is very simple and contains: [User] Language=fr_FR.utf8 XSession=xfce SystemAccount=false That's all! Now, if anybody has a clue, I will have better nights!
