Found more in fidonet and qmail, adding tasks. But the more that are affected the more I think then general solution in lightdm would be the right thing to do. ** Also affects: netqmail (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: fidogate (Ubuntu) Importance:

The user Objects have an attribute for system accounts: property Boolean SystemAccount Whether or not the account is a system account, such as adm. System accounts aren't returned by ListCachedUsers and should generally be ignored. It also has a shell property, but that (by default) seems to

So while I understand to unify code paths by relying on accoutnsservice lightdm needs to get back the feature of "hidden-shells=" IMHO. So in some sense this is a regression in lightdm due to the change to use accountsservice. The solution clearly extceeds my Dbus-foo, but shouldn't lightdm be

The suggestion was made to add a accountsservice file for it like: echo -e "[User]\nSystemAccount=true" > /var/lib/AccountsService/users/libvirt-qemu I agree this might be an option - and I might even be forced to take it at some point, but then I ask myself for how many extra Desktop

Hi Ali, as I outlined before the fix likely has to take place in accountsservice not in libvirt. You assigned yourself, so I wanted to ask what you have in mind to do? In case this was an accident you might want to unassign yourself, but "subscribe" [1] you to the bug to stay up to date on this

Thanks Tom, I agree that loosing the hidden-shells seems to be a regression. And to make the state more clear that this in the current state is considered a an issue of accountservice or lightdm lets mark the other packages won't fix for now. Otherwise everybody assumes "the other will do it".

KDE and Gnome seem to not have the issue in general (To admit - I didn't try myself the Gnome case yet), so in Artful it might be resolved by the switch to Gnome. I didn't hear from the Desktop Team yet about accountsservice getting a fix. Also for now there is a workaround in [1] If this gets
