[Bug 837246] Re: User name shown as [Invalid UTF-8] in live session
Bug is in indicator-session-0.3.7.1 I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 64bit. My account info comes from NIS. Perhaps indicator is not NIS aware? I guessed this may be the problem so created an override in /etc/passwd for my account GECOS field. Here is my entry +kprattKen Pratt:/mnt/home/users/kpratt: I still get [Invalid UTF-8] as the indicator displayed user name. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/837246 Title: User name shown as [Invalid UTF-8] in live session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-session/+bug/837246/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Upgraded. michael@saturn:~$ dpkg -s indicator-session|grep Version Version: 0.3.7.1-0ubuntu1.1 The package manager version sets /etc/login.defs to 500; but it is not needed on my system. I had more than 6 users defined on this system -- and the new version is working just fine with /etc/login.defs set to 1000. It's all fixed as far as I can see.

[Bug 837246] Re: User name shown as [Invalid UTF-8] in live session
OK, you can use this workaround (taken from Bug #834137 which seems to handle the same issue): You have to ensure that your user id is above or equal to the value of UID_MIN in /etc/login.defs (1000 per default). In my case the user id was 501 so I set the UID_MIN to 500 (the Debian style). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/837246 Title: User name shown as [Invalid UTF-8] in live session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-session/+bug/837246/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

- User name shown as [Invalid UTF-8] in live session (LP: #837246) I upgraded today from 11.04 to 11.10 and the [Invalid UTF-8] shows up rather than the User_account_name. This is an issue for all user accounts. I haven't changed any user IDs or group IDs, nor have I added or removed or changed users or user group memberships. I didn't do anything but upgrade to 11.04 to 11.10. My installation is completely up to date and there's nothing left to do in the way of installing new updates -- so this bug isn't fixed.
