gdm userlist empty

Hi

I have an issue with gdm, not really a big issue but still,
gdm don't display the user list and i can't figure out why,
disable-user-list is at false

remi ~ » gsettings list-recursively | grep disable-user-list
org.gnome.login-screen disable-user-list false
ca.desrt.dconf-editor.Settings saved-pathbar-path '/org/gnome/login-screen/disable-user-list'

i use gnome 3.32.2

displaying user in gnome-center works,
i previously used cinnamon if it has any correlation

Re: gdm userlist empty

Besides the dconf setting GDM relies on AccountsService to gather user list info. Have you followed the GDM wiki page yet to check whether your UID < 1000 or that you have an entree 'SystemAccount=true' in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/<your-user>?
