I created a user, pascal(1001), from user nts(1000) using user manager. The user works great - logged in and everything. But it's not listed in nts's user managers list. Strange thing is that nts is listed in the user manager for pascal. User manager: - nts only sees nts - pascal sees both nts and pascal. Adding a third (now non-administrative) user: - nts sees nts and test user - pascal sees nts, pascal and test user Adding a third user, it is listed both in /etc/passwd: nts:x:1000:1000:nts,,,:/home/nts:/bin/bash pascal:x:1001:1001:Pascal d'Hermilly:/home/pascal:/bin/bash test:x:1002:1002:test,,,:/home/test:/bin/bash
Could you try "qdbus-qt5 --system org.freedesktop.Accounts" to check what the accountsservice thinks about the installed users? From looking at the user-manager code, it uses this dbus service to list users.
There is no qdbus-qt5 on my system. I'm guessing that qdbus is the same... pascal@nts-ThinkPad-T450:~$ qdbus --system org.freedesktop.Accounts / /org /org/freedesktop /org/freedesktop/Accounts /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1001 /org/freedesktop/Accounts/User1000 I'm getting exactly same result on the nts user which is not showing the pascal account. BTW. I noticed there is something installed called qdbusviewer that is failing with some missing QT4. pascal@nts-ThinkPad-T450:~$ qdbusviewer qdbusviewer: could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qdbusviewer': No such file or directory My OS is KDE neon user edtion installed a month ago with extra programs.
