I reported this at the time I upgraded my two systems to F30, and find
that it's still true with F31.
On my main (desktop) machine, there are two users, one of which (me) is
flagged as the administrative user; the other is a mere mortal. My
userid was displayed on the Gnome login screen; the other accessible by
clicking the "Not shown" link on the screen.
After the F29->F30 upgrade, the order of the two users was reversed,
with the non-admin user displayed by default. My own account is
accessible via the "Not shown" link.
This has not changed after my in-place (via dnf) upgrade to F31. The
secondary, non-admin user is displayed as the default login on the login
screen.
On my other system, a laptop, there was only one user account created
prior to the F29-F30 upgrade. When I ran the F29->F30 upgrade and
rebooted, I was FORCED to create a (new) admin user account, despite
there being one admin user already there. The new user now appears
first on the Gnome login screen; the existing user is accessible, again,
via the "Not shown" link.
This did not change after my in-place (via dnf) upgrade to F31. The
newly-created userid is displayed as the default login on the login screen.
While the extra click on "Not shown" is not a major big deal, I'm unable
to figure out how to flip-flop the two userids on the systems so that
the primary user appears on the login screen.
Suggestions/discussion welcome. Thanks.
As a follow up, thanks to Sam Sieb, who reminded me about the files in
/var/lib/AccountsService/users/
I had looked at these at the time the issue arose (at F29->F30 upgrade,
last May). Sam pointed out that userfiles there with
"SystemAccount=true" will not be shown on the login screen.
Last May, I had tried hand-editing these files to override the
SystemAccount setting, but their contents reverted after I logged out,
so I had assumed they were being controlled by the account services
systemd unit.
This time, however, hand-editing the user files there took and my login
screen is back to where it should be.
Thanks for the help, everyone.
