[Dx-packages] [Bug 857651] Re: Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher
Since so many components are involved a fix/change might have been missed. And since I recently didn't hear anything about this otherwise rather hot bug I was giving focal a try. It turns out that this was indeed improved. Only the user of pkg:ifmail user fdt name "Fidonet" is still visible. All other formerly affected packages are good in Focal. I can't (without digging through history a lot) say what fixed that but I'll update the bug tasks accordingly. Setting Focal fixed and marking Bionic/Xenial as still affected releases. The backport tasks for those packages are incomplete thou as it is unclear which change in which package fixed it for Focal. Note: This is only speaking for the "default config" of Ubuntu Desktop as in 20.04 we know that certain environments will behave differently (e.g. KDE never was affected). ** Also affects: ifmail (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: libvirt (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: ceph (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: lightdm (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: accountsservice (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: netqmail (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: sddm (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: ifmail (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: libvirt (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: ceph (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: lightdm (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: accountsservice (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: netqmail (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: sddm (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** No longer affects: accountsservice (Ubuntu Xenial) ** No longer affects: accountsservice (Ubuntu Bionic) ** Changed in: ceph (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: ceph (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: ceph (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released ** No longer affects: ifmail (Ubuntu Xenial) ** No longer affects: ifmail (Ubuntu Bionic) ** No longer affects: lightdm (Ubuntu Xenial) ** No longer affects: lightdm (Ubuntu Bionic) ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: netqmail (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: netqmail (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: netqmail (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released ** No longer affects: sddm (Ubuntu Xenial) ** No longer affects: sddm (Ubuntu Bionic) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu.

[Dx-packages] [Bug 857651] Re: Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher
Piorities are a bit odd, eventually all packages affected (low prio as they can't do much about it) actually depend on lightdm to resolve it (prio medium) which depends on accountsservive to implement some shell- filter feature (prio high). TL;DR as there was a lot of discussion up to now: - users need a way to be hidden other than "uid is low" - [1] outlines the place/feature we'd need to get back what we had in the past - [2] outlines that this is a regression and should be handled in lightdm/accountsservice and not all indirectly affected packages Note: the updated upstream bug is [3], but since this is still a semi-static list instead of detecting hidden shells as it did in the past it is not perfect for what would be needed. Furthermore nothing happened on this bug for quite some time. And finally due to being a semi-static list it is almost worse than the workaround of echo -e "[User]\nSystemAccount=true" > /var/lib/AccountsService/users/libvirt-qemu Which could at least be a per-package owned drop-in config. Once more I'd ask the Desktop Team to evaluate how this could be solved. At least Towards 20.04 we should get rid of this annoyance for users. Please let me know if: - there is any chance that we get a hidden-shell filtering into accountsservice that will fix all affected packages at once? OR - if this will not happen and affected packages are supposed to each use the drop-in config. Which means a denial of the argument that was made in [2] While I'd appreciate getting the right solution (accountsservice filters) we were stalled for too long to use the workaround solution by waiting for it to resolve. So I hope kicking this (once more) helps to at least get to some solution for the users.

[Dx-packages] [Bug 857651] Re: Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher
The workaround I am using to this bug is simple: Copy /var/lib/AccountsService/users/root to /var/lib/AccountsService/users/user It's is probably a bad thing to do... What actually happens if one uses SystemAccount=true in that file, as far as I understand (correct me if I am wrong) that won't grant any special powers to that user, still relies on group membership and PolicyKit rules. Essentially as a temporary workaround the following lines hide the user: [User] SystemAccount=true -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu.

[Dx-packages] [Bug 857651] Re: Unable to hide users from login screen / user switcher
This bug also causes all users home directories to mount if they're setup in autofs. This is especially detrimental if your autofs maps contain thousands of users. Lightdm and autofs will slowly grind through mounting home directories looking for: ~/.dmrc ~/.face ~/.face.icon These mounts stay around in /etc/mtab, which causes reboots/shutdowns to take extremely long while the system then umounts all the directories. This not only affects the local system, but if hundreds of systems in an environment are doing this it causes unnecessary load on backend services. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu.
