Cannot reproduce on Fedora 35. Possible a regression in the new AccountsService version that Arch recently upgraded to?

Comment 2 Nicolas Fella 2022-02-15 16:06:22 UTC

Same root cause as https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449789

It's failing to apply the avatar:
org.kde.kcm_users: "org.freedesktop.Accounts.Error.Failed" "file '/tmp/kcmshell5.ChTLLO' is not a regular file"
