Bug#856195: sddm: /usr/share/sddm/faces/username.face.icon is ignored



Hello!

Thanks I'll do that. I have 2 non system users only though.

Could it be caused by my avatar image being very large? I just use a photo and didn't bother making a smaller version.

marking this as high so it blocks updates for people who have apt-listbug

The new release of sddm is showing the generic user icon for every user and no longer using the images I placed in /usr/share/sddm/faces/

It's kind of pointless to have icons for the users if they all look identical.

tl;dr: Add this block to your /etc/sddm.conf (create the file if it doesn't exists):
[Theme]
EnableAvatars=true

The new version of sddm has a new configuration option (DisableAvatarsThreshold) that disables the use of the avatars when the amount of users is greater than this value. This option reduces the time sddm takes to load in systems that have a large number of users, that probably have their home directories using nfs automount.

The upstream default is 7, which is kind of low. If you have more than 7 users in your system you might want to raise this value, or you can explicitly set the EnableAvatars value.

This is documented in the generated example configuration file in (/usr/share/doc/sddm/sddm.conf), I'm requesting upstream to document this option in the sddm.conf manpage.

Happy hacking,
