I have experienced similar issues with two different F29->F30 upgrades
via dnf. Although what happened wasn't identical on both upgrades, the
results were the same: After upgrade/reboot, the GDM login screen does
not show the primary (previously existing) user name (UID 1000).
In the first upgrade, I was forced to create a new user after the
upgrade on first boot, as if this was a new install, despite the
existing userid. The previously existing user name does not show up on
the GDM login screen. Instead, only the *newly* created username (UID
1001) shows.
In the second upgrade, the firstboot-create-a-new-user didn't occur, but
the previously existing primary user name (also UID 1000) does not show
on the GDM login screen. Instead, only secondary username (UID 1001) shows.
In both cases, the primary userid can be accessed by clicking the "not
show" link on the GDM login screen and manually entering userid and
password. Of course, this is a fairly simple workaround, but is
nevertheless an inconvenience.
Where does the GDM login screen pull the info for the primary userid?
/etc/passwd and /etc/group don't show anything that looks like a flag
for this.
The files in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/ appear to contain some sort
of flag, but they are apparently created on login, rather than being
permanent. On both systems the primary userid (UID 1000) is shown as:
SystemAccount=true
While the file for UID 1002 is:
SystemAccount=false
Modification time on these files is same as the userid's last login, and
manually changing the SystemAccount flag has no effect; it's set back on
next login.
Bumping this, as no solutions have turned up.
