Just to make sure: You did make sure that the accoutservice.service got restarted after downgrade/update? Use zypper ps after to see what needs a restart, or do a plain old reboot. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

My users numbers are in 500s . I downgraded the account-service package. And i edited the /var/lib/AccountsService/users/$USER to say: SystemAccount=false And that hack solved the problem. But we need a new update for the account-service package or any other package that would solve the problem.

GDM shows USERS only AS this slipped in an upstream though, the change is too invasive, I agree..

do they fix what the previous update broke?

No. Once user got SystemAccount=true it remains also after update. Probably something needs to be done to trigger re-evaluation. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have applied the update as above, and the other two users have appeared in the list, but not me. I just checked my user file and yes, it has SystemAccount=true

I will leave it thus in case you want to test a fix for that.

THIS will never ever change: it works as designed: SystemAccounts are hidden from the face browsers. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

An automatic cleanup is close to impossible, as there is no way to find out if AccountService 'messed' it up or if the admin actually knew what he did and set the flag appropriately... for the 'regular' user case (such as for you): deleting the files in /var/lib/AccountsService/users should be safe and get them re-initialized on next boot. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

We know that there are many legacy human users with id of 5xx. We know that system accounts shouldn't have ids above 500, so if anyone has created one, that's there problem.

That;s an easy statement for the ones that are not in the position :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
