Bug#960329: lightdm: Error getting user list from org.freedesktop.Accounts
Package: lightdm
Version: 1.26.0-4
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
accountsservice was using a lot of CPU on my system from time to
time, so I purged it. lightdm does not depend on accountsservice
(like gdm3), but report errors if the package is not installed:
2020-05-11T19:01:03.247+00:00 vent lightdm[639]: Error getting user list from org.freedesktop.Accounts: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Accounts was not provided by any .service files
2020-05-11T19:01:06.338+00:00 vent lightdm[746]: Error getting user list from org.freedesktop.Accounts: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Accounts was not provided by any .service files
2020-05-11T19:01:11.217+00:00 vent lightdm[1069]: Error getting user list from org.freedesktop.Accounts: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.Accounts was not provided by any .service files
I don't see anything in the lightdm configuration files that tells
me how to disable the use of accountsservice to placate the error. There
probably should be. I don't have a use for .dmrc (re #690898) but
presumably that would be a work-around.
