Subject: sddm: /usr/share/sddm/faces/username.face.icon is ignored

Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2017 12:59:13 +0100

Package: sddm
Version: 0.14.0-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
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.

Best

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,

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.

Ah, it's a different issue then. This one is fixed with the upstream commit:
ecb903e48822bd90650bdd64fe80754e3e9664cb
I'm adding the fix to our git repository, but I'm not sure if this merits a 
request to the release team.

Happy hacking,

Package: sddm
Version: 0.14.0-2
Bug#856195

I solved by downloading the source package sddm, edited the file
“sddm-0.14.0/src/greeter/UserModel.cpp” and applied these changes:
...
const QString facesDir = mainConfig.Theme.FacesDir.get();
-   const QString defaultFace = QStringLiteral("file://%1/.fac
e.icon").arg(facesDir);
+   const QString defaultFace = QStringLiteral("%1/.face.icon"
).arg(facesDir);
...
// search for face icon
user->icon = defaultFace;

+   QString userFace = QStringLiteral("%1/.face.icon").arg(user->homeDir);
+   if (QFile::exists(userFace))
+         user->icon = userFace;
...


and compiled with:
cd sddm-0.14.0
debuild -i -us -uc -b -d
cd ..
dpkg -i sddm_0.14.0-2_amd64.deb
apt-mark hold sddm
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart sddm

After restart the service, the icons have reappeared.

Thanks,
Anthony
