Bug#856195: sddm: /usr/share/sddm/faces/username.face.icon is ignored
Package: sddm
Version: 0.14.0-2
Bug#856195
I solved by downloading the source package sddm, edited the file
“sddm-0.14.0/src/greeter/UserModel.cpp” and applied these changes:
...
const QString facesDir = mainConfig.Theme.FacesDir.get();
- const QString defaultFace = QStringLiteral("file://%1/.fac
e.icon").arg(facesDir);
+ const QString defaultFace = QStringLiteral("%1/.face.icon"
).arg(facesDir);
...
// search for face icon
user->icon = defaultFace;
+ QString userFace = QStringLiteral("%1/.face.icon").arg(user->homeDir);
+ if (QFile::exists(userFace))
+ user->icon = userFace;
...
and compiled with:
cd sddm-0.14.0
debuild -i -us -uc -b -d
cd ..
dpkg -i sddm_0.14.0-2_amd64.deb
apt-mark hold sddm
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart sddm
After restart the service, the icons have reappeared.
Thanks,
Anthony

Hello! Thanks I'll do that. I have 2 non system users only though. Could it be caused by my avatar image being very large? I just use a photo and didn't bother making a smaller version.

This option reduces the time sddm takes to load in systems that have a large number of users, that probably have their home directories using nfs automount. The upstream default is 7, which is kind of low. If you have more than 7 users in your system you might want to raise this value, or you can explicitly set the EnableAvatars value. This is documented in the generated example configuration file in (/usr/share/doc/sddm/sddm.conf), I'm requesting upstream to document this option in the sddm.conf manpage.

Package: sddm Version: 0.14.0-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, marking this as high so it blocks updates for people who have apt-listbug The new release of sddm is showing the generic user icon for every user and no longer using the images I placed in /usr/share/sddm/faces/ It's kind of pointless to have icons for the users if they all look identical.
