You were right about /var/lib/AccountsService/users. My login was set to a "system" account. Setting SystemAccount=false allowed me to see my login name listed on the login page. As for ksh2020: it is found in the deb package: ksh-2020.0.0-5 It was installed normally via apt install.

No, /bin/ksh2020 is not listed in /etc/shells. In /etc/shells, ksh is listed as /usr/bin/ksh2020. I installed ksh2020 with the usual command: sudo apt install ksh2020 When I added to /etc/shells, the line /bin/ksh2020 and re-edited /etc/passwd for my uid=1000, pete, to have a shell of

The issue is likely the heuristic in accountsservice to determine which users are real one (opposed to account used by the system) they do filter on valid shells https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/accountsservice/accountsservice/-/blob/master/src/user-classify.c#L116 the code calls getusershell()

Attached is the journalctl.out.bz2, but it only shows that gnome-initial-setup is called and later it states that gnome-initial-setup is using the logname "x" which is what I was forced to use. I know that gnome-initial-setup is part of the problem because if you try to break out of it with

Could you add your 'journalctl' from a boot showing the issue after getting the problem (and indicate the time where you saw gnome-initial-setup showing)? (even better if you uncomment the Debug Enable line in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf) Is another non standard in the username you choose in the

I installed U20.04 from a download from the official Canonical website; burned to a DVD and then booted from the DVD. The installation asked all the usual questions including asking for a first user logname. This all went well. My installation site was a clean unused disk; installed to the

Thank you for your bug report. How did you install Ubuntu and what desktop environment do you use? The desktop installer has an user creation as a mandatory step so unsure how you ended up with a system without an user created? ** Changed in: gnome-initial-setup (Ubuntu) Status: New =>

the offending program is gnome-initial-setup. I can exit [via a timeout] but that give a black screen which I break out of with Ctrl-Alt-Del, but that just puts me back at the same gnome-initial-setup. The only way forward seems to let it add a new user. At the login screen of that new user,
