I've temporarily fixed it based on Conor Curran's fix, here's what I did: 1 ) sudo apt-get build-dep indicator-session 2) apt-get source indicator-session 3 ) cd indicator-session-0.3.7 4) # change the following line in ./src/users-service-dbus.h #define MAXIMUM_USERS 6 to #define MAXIMUM_USERS 30 5) dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc -rfakeroot 6) sudo dpkg -i ../indicator-session-gtk2_0.3.7-0ubuntu1_i386.deb indicator-session_0.3.7-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
When you don't want the update manager to propose to update the indicator-session, edit the ./debian/changelog before making the package (step 5), e.g. indicator-session (0.3.7-0ubuntu2) oneiric-proposed; urgency=low * Temp fix Invalid UTF-8 -- Your email <your-em...@xxx.com> Mon, 31 Oct 2011 07:30:00 +0200 (Note that I've changed 0.3.7-0ubuntu1 to 0.3.7-0ubuntu2) I've uploaded my i386 versions at: http://ubuntuone.com/131lB4SoVqqhsaKNznZn6Y and http://ubuntuone.com/3xsr6MpdgI6tJl63mEJxZw -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874194 Title: indicator-session shows name as "[Invalid UTF-8]" for some users To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-session/+bug/874194/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
