OK, you can use this workaround (taken from Bug #834137 which seems to handle the same issue):

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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
