[Bug 874194] Re: indicator-session shows name as [Invalid UTF-8] for some users (depending on UIDMIN?)
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. I'm not running qmail on this system any more, so I deleted the accounts, and my name is now showing up where Invalid UTF-8 was before. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874194 Title: indicator-session shows name as [Invalid UTF-8] for some users (depending on UIDMIN?)

[Bug 874194] Re: indicator-session shows name as [Invalid UTF-8] for some users (depending on UIDMIN?)
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 login. The user I created during installation (it's uid is 1000), shows as [Invalid UTF-8] on the upper right after login. Another user created later with uid 1006, also shows as [Invalid UTF-8] on the upper right after login. I installed d-feet and started it. I don't see menus. Only a button Add a bus tab using an address. Clicking on it brings a window to enter a Bus Address and connect. I don't know enough to understand this, but I could follow step-by-step instructions if you think it could be useful. I run: dpkg -l accountsservice It gives me 6 lines that I don't understand. The first 5 seem to be a header.

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? could you also run dpkg -l accountsservice?
