Hi,

I wanted to try out autologin in Plasma 5. So I went to Systemsettings > Account and there checked the checkbox for autologin for my user. After Apply, I needed to authenticate as root, after which my user account listing disappeared! (It is still in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, luckily.) Before I start filing bug reports, I'd like to get some feedback about what system is likely the culprit. In my log, I find:

Code: Select all

So clearly something failed and my user got ‘uncached’, whatever that means. But who's at fault?

Also, after a reboot, the user is still missing from the list in the Accounts system settings module. How can I get it back?
