Comment 9 for bug 952909

I had this problem with (1) the list if users on the login screen, and (2) the list of users in the "user accounts" subsection of the system settings after installing Ubuntu 12.04 on a Toshiba AC100 several days ago, as described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/TEGRA/AC100 .

Then, thanks to Jack Wasey's comment, I tried to solve the problem by installing the package from Debian --
http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/accountsservice (see also the changelog: http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/a/accountsservice/accountsservice_0.6.15-4/changelog ).

First, I checked that the currently installed package doesn't include the discussed fix. (Read "man dpkg" on how to get the information about the installed packages, and on how to install packages from files.) Then, tried to installed the Debian package by simply clicking on the download link in the browser -- the graphical package manager reported that it requires another version of libaccountsservice0. So, I downloaded both package files, and ran dpkg to install them.

After that, the login screen correctly lists all the users. Good! That's essentially all I wanted. Unfortunately, the "user accounts" subsection of system settings crashes. (But I can use the usual commands to change the password, add or delete users, etc.)

Now I think that the installation via "dpkg" might have left some broken dependencies unnoticed, so I'd better use "apt" to install the Debian versions of the package from the downloaded files; then I'd be sure that the dependencies were checked.
