This issue is reproducible and seems to be related to the user number. I had a user number in the /etc/passwd set to 300 and something. Now changing that to 1000 and with appropriate "sudo chown -R myusername /home/myusername" and "sudo chgrp -R myusername /home/myusername" I no longer get the error: the username is shown in lightdm, the username is shown in the upper right corner, I see my self in the "User account" is system settings, and pressing the icon does not generate a crash, but selects the icon alright.
Before that I tried "minimum-uid=300" in /etc/lightdm/users.conf" but I did not get that to work. There seems to be multiple issues (including a crash) related to a too low user number. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1100308 Title: gnome-control-center segment error during selection of image To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1100308/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
