Thanks for that , I was able to find it & launch it with kcmshell4 kcm_useraccount.
However when I do kcmshell5 -list it is missing.
I am using systemsettings5. Is kcm_useraccount not available yet for the new KF5 version?
I tried to reinstall kuser no change.

KUser is a KDE4 application.

Arch package - kdeadmin-kuser : https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr ... min-kuser/

KDE Menu -> Applications -> System -> KUser

Can be added to the KDE System Settings: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthrea ... post372331

as best I can tell:

the module in now named "user_manager" and (at least in openSUSE) it is package kde-user-manager,
in 4 it was part of kdepasswd and named useraccount

see if you have and can install the package

ya I can not seem to find kde-user-manager on Arch Ill have to bring it up on the Arch Linux forums probably.

Thanks for your help.

Edit: The package is just called user-manager on arch https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/user-manager/

had I installed KDE with the plasma-meta package I would have already had it

Was hard to find since nothing indicated it was part of kde besides the fact it was in the plasma group.

Code: Select all
extra/user-manager 5.4.2-1 (plasma)
A simple system settings module to manage the users of your system
