The behaviour has slightly changed but it seems clear to me that the same issue is still at work. At the prahical login, there is now a list of accounts to choose from, it does include "daisy" but not "karel". There is however a "not listed" to click, and that allows me to enter "karel" as login, after password validation everything works as expected.
My understanding was and is that the non-working user "karel", though mentioned in the basic /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, is missing from some other list of users, proper to lightdm. I have however failed to find such a file, perhaps the account names are encrypted into it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1451256 Title: user "daisy" can log in but user "karel" gets a blank X-screen Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When logging in as "karel" I get a blank X screen, which is perfectly functional as such - from a terminal I can launch "firefox --display :0" and so forth - but user Karel does not get a window manager active. For newly created user "daisy" everything works as expected. Not sure this is a bug, though, the trouble started after some twiddling with adding and removing packages.
