Description Giulio 'juliuxpigface' 2017-04-28 21:28:15 UTC 
Created attachment 1275015 [details]
sddm's screenshot

Description of problem:
sddm lists four user accounts, even if my system has only got two user accounts.
Also... After the first boot, I can't login to the first user account anymore (but perhaps that's another bug).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sddm-0.14.0-8.fc26.x86_64

How reproducible:
I see the bug on every boot. I haven't tried to reproduce it to another system, yet.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an user account


Actual results:
sddm lists two entries for a single user account.

Expected results:
sddm should list only one entry for a single user account.

Additional info:
- I'm testing on qemu-kvm
- System installed from "Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-26-20170420.n.0.iso"
- I created the first user account with the initial-setup utility
- I created the second user account with the KDE's utility
Comment 1 Tomas Toth 2017-05-09 09:39:16 UTC 
I hit the same bug with just one account created during installation in Anaconda. I see the account twice on the SDDM login screen.

Comment 3 Petr Schindler 2017-05-31 12:59:49 UTC 
I hit this too.

I propose this as a Freeze exception. This could confuse users. All entries works so it's not a blocker.
Comment 4 Jia Yuan Lo 2017-06-01 15:59:53 UTC 
LXQt is hit by this as well

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1445705

Can you check your users and groups also got duplicated entries?

I think that is a bigger problem on LXQt
Comment 5 Palo Kisa 2017-06-09 07:46:39 UTC 
Source of this problem probably is the usage of getpwent() and configuration in /etc/nsswitch.conf -> see here https://github.com/lxde/lxqt/issues/1308#issuecomment-307309844

Comment 16 Gurenko Alex 2017-06-18 08:36:52 UTC 
Not sure if this is worth re-opening this defect or opening a new one, but if you go to System Settings -> Shutdown and Login -> Login Screen (SDDM) -> Advanced tab there is a list of users for auto login which is still showing double accounts.

You should definitely report to upstream, at least.
Comment 18 Raphael Groner 2017-06-18 09:05:28 UTC 
Ad comment #17: TBH I can not reproduce the mentioned duplicates of users in advanced tab.

I've opened a defect for SDDM right now, I'm not sure whether it's SDDM or Plasma's issue at this point.
Comment 20 Martin Bříza 2017-06-19 11:36:24 UTC 
In case you experience this in system settings, too, it's a separate bug for the sddm-kcm package.
