Here is the error: `...gdm-password][5010]: pam_systemd(gdm-password:session): Failed to get user record: Invalid argument` However, these users can log-in via ssh, and via TTY without issue. This error does not occur if I log in with other users, without a number (e.g. test.user) Also, the error does not occur if I switch to LightDM. With LightDM, a username such as 9912345 can login to the desktop desktop environment. $ apt-cache policy gdm3 gdm3: Installed: 3.34.1-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.34.1-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.34.1-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gdm/+bug/1881812/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
