Hi, thank you for the report - I can confirm the issue. This was caused by fixing bug 1637601. This was brought up on IRC two days ago and I was already polling for opinions on the original but.
There are way more such high-id users in there and I wonder why they would not show up. Maybe there is some filtering mechanism that I didn't know about yet. Adding a base-passwd task as they should be the best experts knowing how to deal with that (Authority for allocating such IDs). Also I'm gonna subscribe all participants of the old bug here. ** Changed in: libvirt (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Also affects: base-passwd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to base-passwd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1667113 Title: Libvirt Qemu appears in the list of users in Ligthdm and user switecher Status in base-passwd package in Ubuntu: New Status in libvirt package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: "Technical" user libvirt Qemu appears in the list of user in Ligthdm, among the real regular users.
