2016-08-26 01:17:08 Jeremy Bícha accountsservice (Ubuntu): status Triaged Fix Committed
2016-08-26 01:25:49 Jeremy Bícha description Before upgrade to 16.04, I could select "change (or switch) user" from the indicator applet (on the top right of the screen in gnome-shell). Since 16.04, this option has vanished, only "close session" and "account parameters" are present. Impact ====== Ubuntu 16.04's accountsservice was built without systemd support because systemd dropped libsystemd-login because that functionality was merged into libsystemd. At a minimum, this broke GNOME Shell's "Switch User" feature. Test Case ========= 1. From Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.1, install the updated accountsservice packages. 2. Because Ubuntu does not automatically restart accountsservice on upgrades like Debian does (maybe we should?), you'll need to run this command: sudo systemctl restart accounts-daemon.service Or just restart your computer. 3. Add a user if necessary to ensure you have at least 2 user accounts configured. 4. Click the system status area in the top right of GNOME Shell. 5. Click your user name. Extra options should appear including "Switch User" Regression Potential ==================== None. This change was made in Debian's accountsservice 0.6.40-3 a year ago(!). The patch is upstreamed and was included in accountsservice 0.6.42 released in June.
