Public bug reported: Version: 0.6.35-0ubuntu7
This bug is visible in lightdm, but it's actually a problem in Trusty's accountsservice. The code in user-classify.c forces the user account to be between 1000 and 60000. Any accounts higher than 60000 are considered systems accounts and not shown in lightdm. In Utopic this is fixed by modifying the code to not take into account any maximum, but rather use the minimum and then filter "nobody" and "nobodynfs". Editing login.defs is possible but is not enough, because in that case, nobody isn't filtered. The patch is quite small and can be backported to Trusty without much issue. ** Affects: accountsservice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1343261 Title: User accounts with id higher than 60000 are not shown in Trusty Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Version: 0.6.35-0ubuntu7 This bug is visible in lightdm, but it's actually a problem in Trusty's accountsservice.
