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

I couldn't seem to get the latest version of the package manager with a
normal update, but after re-installing the OS, I got the newer version
and was able to get things working. (Just in case anyone else is having
trouble).

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
also affected. tweaking /etc/login.defs is not an acceptable solution
and could lead to big problems. we need to get this fixed folks.

I still have the problem if there are more than 41 lines in /etc/passwd (of
which 6 are non-system accounts)
I can swap in/out working users, but if I add more, it goes back to Invalid
UTF-8 for names even after picking up the latest updates a couple of minutes
ago.

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).

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
This affects me, too. If you want any particular info, I will provide it
to you.
