The suggestion was made to add a accountsservice file for it like: echo -e "[User]\nSystemAccount=true" > /var/lib/AccountsService/users/libvirt-qemu
I agree this might be an option - and I might even be forced to take it at some point, but then I ask myself for how many extra Desktop envs/services would we make extra files if more are found. Do we really want to make this a custom change in all those packages (and any else in the future who add system users). - OR - Wouldn't it make much much more sense to make accountsservice realize on non login shells as all other logins seem to do (e.g. sddm) and as itself did in the past (hidden-shells)? -- 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/1667113 Title: System users appears in Ligthdm and user switcher (Accountsservice has no filter for shell types) Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in base-passwd package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in ceph package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ifmail package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in libvirt package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in netqmail package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: "Technical" user libvirt Qemu appears in the list of user in Ligthdm, among the real regular users.
