Bug Description
Impact:
On some architectures (powerpc, arm*), adding an user account empty the user list from the users panel and lightdm
Test Case:
On powerpc or arm*
- open the users panel
- add an account
- look at the users list in lightdm or in the user panel
before the fix only one user would be left listed
Regression potential:
users could be incorrectly added or listed
---
On Ubuntu 12.04 beta for ARM, OMAP4, on a pandaboard, creating a user from User Accounts (system settings) creates user and it looks ok, but only the latest user created is visible in login screen and in further work in User Accounts. I set the password using 'passwd user', and all three users exist, 'uadmin', created during installation, 'rsk' and 'tk', created later, but only 'tk' is visible. It all looks ok from looking a the files (unique UIDs, UIDs > 1000 etc). Group memberships also look right.
