I was not yet able to test the fix mentioned above. But I noticed that with my workaround the user "nobody" (uid 65534) is listed as in lightdm. It is listed by accountsservice if I query it via dbus:
root@pc:~/tmp# qdbus --system org.freedesktop.Accounts / /org /org/freedesktop /org/freedesktop/Accounts /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User65534 [..] /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1000 Hopefully this has been taken care of in the patched version? I'll try to test the utopic version tomorrow. @Robert Ancell: 1. is this the correct way to restart the accountsservice?: /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-daemon --replace & 2. I couldn't find a lot of documentation for accountsservice could you give me a hint for a good start? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290785 Title: Users with UID > 60000 are invisible in login and Settings->User unless /etc/login.defs updated To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1290785/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
