Description of problem: When two users share UID 1001, the next system boot will hang waiting for the Plymouht boot screen to quit, and the GDM login screen will never appear. The fix for this issue is to remove one of the duplicate users. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-3.18.0-1.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: Happens every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure two users with UID 1001 2. Reboot system 3. Watch the GDM login screen not appear Actual results: GDM login screen doesn't appear, systemd hangs forever waiting for the Plymouth boot screen to quit. Expected results: Plymouth boot screen should quit and GDM should appear with valid login options. Additional info: Found this issue when attempting to apply a Puppet manifest to a laptop with a fresh installation of Fedora 23. The Puppet manifest was tested using a Fedora 23 Vagrant box. The manifest configures a user as UID 1001, but has to allow duplicates in order to prevent subsequent Vagrant/Puppet configuration from failing due to the 'vagrant' user with UID 1001 being removed or otherwise modified. The manifest configures the 'vagrant' user to be part of the 'ssh' group so 'vagrant ssh' correctly functions. My fix was to not configure the 'vagrant' user on the laptop, thereby not creating the second user with UID 1001. This user was mistakenly being created anyway; it's useful only in the test environment. I don't know how big of a problem this issue really is, but I thought it important enough to document so others can hopefully not spend as much time as I did trying to figure out what was going on.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
