[Dx-packages] [Bug 1256590] Re: J. Random User Showing In Unity Power Menu Indicator
Just got hit by this, 13.10 fully updated. Guest session has been recently used by family members, though has also been used before too and haven't seen this before. There is nothing strange in /etc/passwd afaik and this "user" is not visible in User settings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to ido in Ubuntu.
