Description of problem: I have alpha2 running in a VM having installed to hard disk from the Live KDE DVD. At login I'm presented with a list of users besides myself: system user for avahi avahi system user for avahi avahi-autoipd system user for chrony chrony system user for chrony colord system user for davfs2 davfs2 system user for dbus messagebus system user for nfs-utils rpcuser system user for openssh sshd system user for polkit polkitd system user for rpcbind rpc system user for rpm rpm system user for rtkit rtkit system user for usbmuxd usbmux Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Interesting! Can you tell me the UIDs for some of those users please (i.e. just run "id rtkit" and "id avahi"). Although I changed the limits, I've not yet pushed anything that should create users above 500... would be interesting to see if the numbers are above or below the 500 limit!
Actually, to be fair certain tools do seem to be counting down from the upper limit when creating IDs so this is probably expected. I'll look into fixing it up. Can I ask what DM you're using? kdm?
I have the same result on a clean net install of current cauldron (64 bit). Using KDM, the system users listed in the login dialogue have UID between 991 and 999. (Other system users are not listed in the login dialogue.)
Cool, thanks James. I kinda expected this, so that's all good. Thanks for confirming. It'll be easy enough to patch, but I'm just going to wait and see with KDE guys whether or not we can perhaps ditch KDM completely (it's horrible!) and switch to something less creaky and old before MGA5 before I put any effort into patching it.

Summary: Login screen after installing Live KDE DVD i586 lists several system users => Login screen (kdm) lists several system users
I have something similar with LightDM, when booting into an XFCE-only install (dual iso, 32bits, pre-Mageia5a2), I can choose between: "system user for openssh" and the normal user. when running drakboot, I can choose autologin for the normal user, but also for: avahi, avahi-autoipd colord lightdm messagebus polkitd postfix rpc rpcuser rpm sshd avahi: uid=998, gid=996 avahi-autoipd: uid=997, gid=995 colord: uid=995, gid=993 lighdm: uid=992, gid=985 sshd has uid=993, gid=987 (didn't check the others) Should this go into a separate bug report, or is the culprit the same as for the KDM problem?

Same here (UID's are 991-998).

Just installed Mageia-5A2 on netbook and requested UID 1500, just as an experiment. But still get the 991-998 UID's showing at Login...

Yes this is expected at present as no changes have been added to kdm - still quietly hoping we can drop it, but I will patch it if needs be.

You might try locate /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and see if you have a newrpm for it. I thought it set MinShowUID=1000 to fix the problem. If nothing else grep MinShowUID /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc to check your setting.

The Mga5A2 installation is fully updated. I note from what Colin said in #10 above: "Yes this is expected at present as no changes have been added to kdm - still quietly hoping we can drop it, but I will patch it if needs be." So I don't really see what I can do about it, apart from reporting it. :-)
not sure if this applies to this bug Mga5A x86-64 re-installation onto real hardware from usb. I did not format /. or /home. At the set up user page the " login name box " gives these options : cache, db, empty, home, lib, local, lock, log, nis, opt, preserve, run, spool, tmp, yp. accessable via the 4 arrow keys. This does not occur for me in a vm from the same iso. installed in the same way. I have re-run the installation several times after finding this to see if it was a " one off ", but every time it occurs. At login I get the list as per the bug report.

should be Mga5A2

OK, this should now be addressed. Luc earlier changed the default to 1000. I've now added another patch to heuristically determine if users in the 500-999 range should be displayed. It should work fine in most cases. If there are upgrade issues where users are left with old configs, we should still fix that, so leaving this bug open to see if that's the case.

It's the case, on purpose before your patch. The default kdm configuration is provided by mageia-kde4-config. In mageia-kde4-config-5-0.20140816.1, I increased MinShowUID to 1000 but only for new installs, not on upgrade. I will fix and push a new mageia-kde4-config this evening to fix this.

@Colin sorry for bother you, but have you patched userdrake also again? or just kde4?

..and there is also "Set up autologin in .." in MCC
(In reply to Angelo Naselli from comment #20) > @Colin sorry for bother you, but have you patched userdrake also again? or > just kde4? This is just kde, no further changes to userdrake (In reply to Bjarne Thomsen from comment #21) > ..and there is also "Set up autologin in .." in MCC Ahh good point (tho' I think that config is pretty broken these days - separate autologin package doesn't work in a nice way and I'm not 100% sure this configures GDM correctly - KDM is probably OK, but when we switch to non-KDM world it'll likely break there too). Still I'll make sure it's fixed up.

Thank you very much Luc. Much appreciated :)
I've just pushed mageia-kde4-config-5-0.20140816.2.mga5 that should update MinShowUID to 1000 in kdmrc, both on update and new installs. With Colin's patch for kdm (kdebase4-workspace-4.11.11-6.mga5), this bug should be now fixed.

Works for me! I use 500 and now KDM shows only me :)
