Originally did an upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 and I saw that the hidden Log-In's were showing as "Invalid UTF-8"
So I tried the "UID_MIN to 500", doing that makes the Log-In's visible on the Log-In Menu when booting up. This is not what I want to do. So I ripped out the whole install and reinstalled from Live CD 11.10, then did all the updates. Created the account, reassigned the UID/Group ID to 998, restarted, went to "Other" entered the Name & Password of the hidden account and when the desktop loads it still shows "Invalid UTF-8". So long as I'm below 1000 for UID (what I want to do, to keep account hidden), the User's ID at the top-right of the desktop shows as "Invalid UTF-8". If I change it back to 1002 then log back into that account it shows the proper name. Any suggestions on when a real patch is coming to fix this?
