I was a little premature in my comment #20 above. Seems as if the admin
account UID 1000 still has this issue. But this is described by other
commenters in this bug and I do not have a problem in this particular
account. My apologies.

- indicator-session shows name as [Invalid UTF-8] if there are
more than 6 user accounts (LP: #874194)
Hi all,
I've upgraded ubuntu from 11.04 to 11.10
Same issue as everybody, but not fixed with the new indicator-session version .
Description:
I can't see the user on the login screen and the indicator applet shows the
user name as [Invalid UTF-8]
I can't see the user in the users and groups
In the bug description above, the UID_MIN in /etc/login.defs was changed
to fix the problem. Is that something to try (or else change the uid
from 500 to 1000).
The fix in the oneiric-proposed is specifically for more than 6 users,
from what I remember.

I had already changed UID_MIN to 500, because I encountered the same
issue on Kubuntu 11.10 on my first migrated laptop.
And finally, it seems that the oneiric-proposed has fixed the bug !
I've just forgotten to reboot my laptop !
Many thanks to all for your investigation and to Conor for his

Hope that helps.

After upgrade to 11.10 I'm having the same problem on one of my pc's.
The users I want to use to login all have UID from 1000 and up and
UID_MIN is set to 1000.
I don't know how to connect to the system bus with d-feet.

I've been seeing this too, but I think the cause is slightly mis-stated
above. My normal users are all above UID_MIN, but I was still seeing the
problem. However, I found that I had a bunch of system accounts above
UID_MIN (qmaild, qmails, and so on), which were also appearing on the
login screen.
Hi Sebastien,
I have this problem.
Users are local. Their names display correctly on the login screen.
I edited the /etc/login.defs file to change the minimum uid and gid to 500, to
match the users of a file server accessed by this computer.
The Guest user shows correctly on the upper right after
I use local users. User name is aaron and d-feet shows RealName as

Could those having the bug:
- install d-feet
- run d-feet, use the file menu, connect to system bus
- go to org.freedesktop.org.Accounts on the left
- select their path corresponding to their UID on the right, i.e User1000
- go to Properties, select RealName and get the values of those lines?
