Description Geraldo Simião 2020-12-28 19:31:25 UTC 
Description of problem:
Cannot create another user account through KDE System Settings. Nothing happens after filling out all new user details and clicking on "create" and "Apply".

Version-Release number of selected component:

plasma-desktop-5.20.4-1.fc33.x86_64
plasma-systemsettings-5.20.4-1.fc33.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open System Settings
2. Click on "Account Details" and "User Manager"
3. Click on "New User"
4. Fill out ALL fields, click on "create" button

Actual results:
New user is not created. It doesn't make a difference if you create user as an admin or not, or if you fill new user password.

Expected results:
It should be possible to create a new user from GUI in KDE Spin.


Additional info:
The actual user (the one we create on system install) doesn't show on this screen to be edited.
With command line tool on terminal "useradd" I sucessfully created a new user, but it doesn't show on the user manager window on system settings to be edited too.


My setup:

standard fedora 33 kde spin with traditional ext4 partitions and swap
- plasma 5.20.4 
- frameworks 5.75.0, 
- Qt 5.15.2 
- Kernel 5.9.16-200.fc33.x86_64
- Plasma on X session

Fresh install on 02/10/2020

Do you have the `accountsservice` package installed?
Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2020-12-31 19:51:28 UTC 
I cannot reproduce the problem reported here, the kcm works ok for me.  I can verify that accountsservice is installed by default.

I can double-check to ensure there's a dependency in place.

Explicit dependency added, reporter, can you install 'accountsservice' pkg to see if that helps?

Yes, this pkg was not installed om my system. 
I installed an rebooted. IT WORKED!
Now I can create new users and edit existing ones too. SUCCESS!

Thankyou very much. :)

This was the package I installed now, and everything works fine:

accountsservice-0.6.55-4.fc33.x86_64

Thanks again :)
