Yeah, calling DeleteUser would help, though it's not symmetrical since we didn't call AddUser in the first place. There's a bunch of ways where accounts could disappear without accounts service being explicitly notified. The most reliable method would be for it to purge it's cache when it detects this.
The attached patch will probably fix this (not tested) since A-S already scans the cache directory on startup. ** Patch added: "0001-Remove-user-cache-files-if-user-account-no-longer-ex.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1259562/+attachment/3927354/+files/0001-Remove-user-cache-files-if-user-account-no-longer-ex.patch ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: lightdm Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: lightdm Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Low ** Changed in: lightdm Importance: Medium => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1259562 Title: Old guest users pollute accountsservice To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1259562/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
