Further info (not sure how relevant, but might help): The user I am logged in as has UID of 1001. login.defs has UID_MIN 1000 and UID_MAX 60000
In 11.04, I had used gconf_editor to set apps/desktop/gnome/lockdown/disable_user_switching to TRUE. This key is now not writable in 11.10. Not sure of significance, but seems slightly odd so may be useful information. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874359 Title: User name shown as [Invalid UTF-8] after upgrade to 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-session/+bug/874359/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
