Wasn't that disabled on purpose, for security reasons? I think there's another bug report about this issue, which contains a link to the bug that was filed to get those faces disabled, but don't have time to look now.

I understand people who want to disable this, but they can also choose a theme without userlist which are more secured. For a personal family use, I would like to personalize face icons. There is also the EnableAvatars option which can be used to desactivate face icons. I hope that mageia would let the user choose.
There is also a bug filed at KDE about it: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=361460 Quotation: "I've found this can depend on your distro's default permissions for $HOME. In short, sddm (unprivledged) needs to have read access to your $HOME/.face" At another distribution: https://chakralinux.org/bugtracker/index.php?do=details&task_id=1395 Quotation: "Sorry I didn't write here how to solve this. There are two different solutions: 1.- First one is to save you avatar (png format) in /usr/share/sddm/faces with the name your_user.face.icon. 2.- Second one is to give exec permission to you home folder in order to sddm user to be able to "see" your avatar. chmod o+x /home/your_user"
Source RPM: sddm-0.14.0-8.mga6 => sddm-0.14.0-12.mga6.src.rpmCC: (none) => aurelienmurith
For this to work, we should use account-daemon.service from accountsservice-0.6.55-2.mga8.src.rpm Also, on Mageia 8 Beta 1, this is working. So closing it.
