accountsservice-0.6.55 brakes my gdm/gnome

[Pavel Timofeev]

Hello!
I've recently installed pkg updates on my FreeBSD 13.0 RELEASE amd64 and
lost the ability to login or pass lock screen in my gnome. GDM is unable to
list any existing users and even if I enter my login manually I see just
black screen. After some time it shows the lock screen where I can't login
too.

It turned out the root cause is accountsservice-0.6.55 (I'm following
quarterly repo). Once I rollback accountsservice to 0.6.42 everything
starts working fine.

I'm wondering if anyone is experiencing the same issues.

Hi Pavel,

accountservice was updated (and merged to quarterly) in the following issue:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=249445

You can want to re-open it and report the regression, with any
additional information you can (error messages, steps to reproduce, etc)

I have similar behavior at 14-CURRENT, but still able to get into the
desktop after manually typing in username. For some reason there's no
ports mailing list archive for 2021 June [1], so I can't make a
reference to Pavel's post in PR. I added this to PR and reopened it.

It's at https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-ports/2021-June/date.html
, I think this is because of list migration by postmaster@ is WIP.
