[Bug 1202054] Re: PostgreSQL Being Listed on Login Screen
Issue partially resolved. The 13.04 installation I mentioned was actually cloned from a 12.04LTS partition and I recall that I had problems with permissions that stopped PostgreSQL from running. The command to change the permissions of the PostgreSQL directory under /etc/ is: sudo chown -R postgres:postgres PostgreSQL and there's a good chance I screwed that up and inadvertently created a human level user called PostgreSQL. This also meant that I could not delete user PostgreSQL... even tho it was disabled. I just corrected this (chown) error and have now managed to delete user PostgreSQL which no longer appears on the login screen or the logout/shutdown screen. Nonetheless, that does not explain how the the 13.04 install did not list PostgreSQL user on the login screen whereas the 13.10 install did. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1202054 Title: PostgreSQL Being Listed on Login Screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1202054/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

PostgreSQL v9.0 was downloaded from http://www.postgresql.org/ into the original 13.04 disto in my sda5. This was then DD cloned into my sda6 and dist-upgrade to 13.10. PostgreSQL is needed on my system as I run a Postgres database. It also has to be v9.0 as there are serious limitations to later versions. So, PostgreSQL is 'legitimate' on my system but has only started showing up as a 'user' since the upgrade to Saucy. Sorry for the time delay, I'm UTC + 8. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1202054 Title: PostgreSQL Being Listed on Login Screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1202054/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

postgres:x:1001:1001:PostgreSQL:/etc/PostgreSQL/9.0:/bin/sh You created this yourself, didn't you? postgresql-common creates that user as a system user (uid 500), but this is a normal (human) user. For system wide services you should rather do something like sudo adduser --system postgres. ** Changed in: accountsservice (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1202054 Title: PostgreSQL Being Listed on Login Screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1202054/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@ Martin I don't recall creating the PostgreSQL user... just installing the software. The software that creates and uses the PostgreSQL database creates it's own user. Interestingly, if I go into Ubuntu's Users Groups, the user 'PostgreSQL' is shown as disabled. The application PostgresSQL is right now happily running and managing my database. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1202054 Title: PostgreSQL Being Listed on Login Screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1202054/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
