Description David Redondo 2020-09-24 19:34:35 UTC
SUMMARY
The accounts service has a limit on the size that icons can be. The kcm assumes that calls to accounts service will always succeed, and will never show the error message to the user.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select an image with size larger than 1 MB as avatar
2. Hit apply

OBSERVED RESULT
The image is not set as avatar

EXPECTED RESULT
The kcm needs to do some error handling and at least show the error message to the user (for example as an inline message). Or resize the image like the old kcm did.

This is different.

That bug is about change signals on things that are correctly applied.

Though us resizing via  temp file would cause accounts service to always copy into icons instead of just updating the path which would solve that bug.

Fair enough, was probably a bit tired yesterday and didn't read correctly.

Add some rudimentary error handling to users kcm

Don't fail silently when an error occurs otherwise the kcm just looks broken.
Show at least an inline message so the user knows that something went wrong.
The comment was wrong. We can distinguish why an error occured. Furthermore,
even if it is a permission denied error we do not know if the user canceled
the action or if it failed for some other reason so also treat that as an
error.
