Unable to set Profile picture in EOS KDE DE

General system Newbie
1

I cannot set a profile picture in EOS KDE Atlantis Neo. Attached Screenshot for reference.
change_profile_pic_error_msg

Steps to reproduce:
Settings > Users > Click on profile pic > Select pic > Click Apply > Shows error message > Could not get permission to save user {UserName}

This was not happening last week. I did a fresh install and then this is happening. I tried both Erase all data and manual partition.

I am not able to get that pop up which asks for admin password upon changing User details/ profile pic.
Please help.
Kindly let me know what data do you need.

Below is my current spec accourding to neofetch:

This is being reported in multiple places by multiple people on Arch-based distros.

What version of the accountsservice package do you have installed?

pacman -Q | grep accountsservice
3

No issue here, I only just reinstalled a few days ago too, I’ll see if I can change it and get beak t you

4

Same issue here

5

Did you fix the permissions to match the package?

EDIT: nvm, I just tested that, it didn’t help.

6

I have set it the way I’ve always set it and given correct permissions, I’m thinking it might be to do with the last update I did as I only set my profile picture on the laptop a few days ago

7

pacman -Q | grep accountsservice
accountsservice 22.04.62-2

8

Same results here
If I can be frank I am not too worried about this and would expect it to be fixed soon

Yeah, it seems like a bug in the latest accountsservice package. Downgrading the package and rebooting resolves the issue.

Thanks Dalto, downgrading works. Hoping this would be fixed in the latest version soon. :upside_down_face:

sudo chmod 775 /var/lib/AccountsService/

That seems unrelated to me. At least in my testing, changing the permissions had no effect on the issue either way.

Hi archbtw, I checked the existing permission on my EOS-KDE and it is already 775.

stat -c %a /var/lib/AccountsService/
775

Thanks for the response though. This is my 1st post in EOS forum and I was amazed to get responses from many. Thank you all.

If you mean downgrading, did you downgrade far enough and did you restart?

18

No i didn’t downgrade? I used the change permissions command you had posted above.

Edit: Okay i downgraded the package and it seems really old in number? Version : 0.6.55-3

19

I didn’t post that command. I said that command wouldn’t help in this situation. :wink:

Well okay … i misunderstood. I downgraded but the accountsservice package seems old in version but it was the only one i had in the cache?
