[Dx-packages] [Bug 1290785] Re: Users with UID 60000 are invisible in login and Settings-User unless /etc/login.defs updated
Back from parental leave I could finally update my system.

Hi Chris and everyone involved, I can confirm, that this new package from trusty-proposed fixes the problem. Users with a higher UID (e.g. 101125 here) are shown and 'nobody' is hidden.

Robert, if I found the correct sources, then I Ithink something went very wrong with your patch for trusty: I found sources for version 0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1 here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+queue?queue_state=1 , namely: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/179519600/accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1.dsc http://launchpadlibrarian.net/179519599/accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1.debian.tar.xz http://launchpadlibrarian.net/179519598/accountsservice_0.6.35.orig.tar.gz and the diff: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/179519604/accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1.diff.gz As one can already guess from the diff, this is not only the patch mentioned above, but quite a lot of aclocal/m4 files were simply removed from the sources. This leads to build errors as you can see from the attached log excerpt from a pbuilder run. The old version accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7 compiles without any problems, but the new one just doesn't. compile at all.

After some more search I found that the original gzipped tar archive that is referenced in your new version accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1.dsc differs a lot from the xz-compressed original tar used by the old trusty version: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/accountsservice_0.6.35.orig.tar.xz This is exactly the difference seen in the diff mentioned above. In the attached accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1.dsc I have just replaced all references to the dubios accountsservice_0.6.35.orig.tar.gz by the corresponding lines for accountsservice_0.6.35.orig.tar.xz as found in https://launchpadlibrarian.net/162749972/accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.dsc (and removed the pgp signature). With this change the packag compiles cleanly and works as expected. @Robert: please use the working original tar.xz from the old package and repost the patch.

[Dx-packages] [Bug 1290785] Re: Users with UID 60000 are invisible in login and Settings-User unless /etc/login.defs updated
Thanks to the hint from Robert, I finally found a solution for my user to be listed again: There actually seems to be a method for setting the account type in the interface of org.freedesktop.Accounts.User, namely 'SetAccountType(in i accountType);' but I could not find a list of valid values for accountType. So I just uncached and then (re-)cached the user: gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.Accounts --object-path /org/freedesktop/Accounts --method org.freedesktop.Accounts.UncacheUser euhus () gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.Accounts --object-path /org/freedesktop/Accounts --method org.freedesktop.Accounts.CacheUser euhus (objectpath '/org/freedesktop/Accounts/User101125',) Now the 'SystemAccount' property is set to false and the user is shown in the login window. But I still have no idea, why this account was ever marked as system account. What stil remains to be done is release a fix for the currently stable (and even LTS-) release. P.S.: to find out about the available methods etc. I used: gdbus introspect --system --dest org.freedesktop.Accounts --object-path /org/freedesktop/Accounts --recurse | less -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu.

[Dx-packages] [Bug 1290785] Re: Users with UID 60000 are invisible in login and Settings-User unless /etc/login.defs updated
Poking around a bit further it seems like the 'SetAccountType(in i accountType);' method mentioned above can take only values of 0 and 1 (which I would rather regard as boolean, than integer) and changes only the 'AccountType' property of that user. This property seems different from the SystemAccount property. I have no idea what the AccountType means, but i noticed that it is set to 1 for my local user and to 0 for the domain/winbind users. On the other hand, there is another special boolean property called LocalAccount ... oh well, who needs docs anyway? So to me it looks like there is no way to correct the wrongly detected SystemAccount property for a user, but to Uncache and then Cache this user. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu.

If you have an account which is not showing in the greeter using Ubuntu 14.10 with the updated packages please provide the following information on the user: $ gdbus call --system --dest org.freedesktop.Accounts --object-path /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1000 --method org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll org.freedesktop.Accounts.User (replace 1000 with the UID) LightDM shouldn't hide any users so hopefully one of the user properties should indicate why it isn't being shown. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu.

[Dx-packages] [Bug 1290785] Re: Users with UID 60000 are invisible in login and Settings-User unless /etc/login.defs updated
I have just tried the 0.6.37-1ubuntu5 versions for Utopic and they kinda work as expected.: - I can see users with UID 6 - 'nobody' is not listed anymore BUT: after some fiddling, one user (with uid 101125) is not shown any longer in the Lightdm login window (even after reboot), but when I query the accounts-daemon via dbus the user does show up: # qdbus --system org.freedesktop.Accounts / /org /org/freedesktop /org/freedesktop/Accounts /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User101265 /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User101139 /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User101125 /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1000 I have previously had the same problem with the normal trusty-Packages and the raised UID_MAX limit. But back then I didn't investigate, but just reinstalled. Is there any other place where usernames are removed from the list shown in lightdm? Could this be the same problem why Jan does not see his user? For now I will not touch this system so I can do some further testing. Some Background info: all users above 10 are domain users mapped by winbind. The only difference I can see between the user not showing up and the others is that the former was added to some local groups. But removing him from theese groups did not help, so I think it's not related. @Robert - thanks for the hints, too bad that such a central component is documented so poorly :-( I just had to figure out that the accounts-daemon seems to take some time to start up: after the killall only the second qdbus query gives results - I tried to backport your changes from /debian/patches/0020-support-login.defs.patch in accountsservice_0.6.37-1ubuntu5 to the /debian/patches/2001-filtering_out_users.patch in trustys accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7 only to find out that this is not used at all. I found the /debian/patches/ directory quite crowded (messy?). Maybe I'll try again tomorrow. Could you please provide a backport of these patches for trusty?
