It is a bug that "accountsservice only shows users with user ID 1000 and above." The number 1000 should not be hard-wired: accountsservice should use LAST_SYSTEM_UID in /etc/adduser.conf to determine what UIDs are "user IDs." (In my 50+ years of experience as a system developer, perhaps the single most common source of bugs is design elements that force humans to keep two separate pieces of information consistent manually. IMO, this is a good example.)
Thanks for the tip about lightdm.conf. How could I have found this out on my own? I think I tried "man lightdm" and "info lightdm", but maybe I overlooked it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1256585 Title: adduser does not update System Settings "Accounts" or the session login screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1256585/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
