Missing User in GDM

So, sometime around the 3.12 update one of my users stopped showing up in GDM. It's my XBMC user, which I have booting straight to an XBMC session. Even after changing that to boot into Gnome, it still doesn't show up. If I log into Gnome as that user, go to Users in gnome, it still says it's not a user and no active users.
I've tried changing the user id to 1004 as I believe an XBMC update defaulted it back down to something in the 500's. Its shell is set to /bin/bash (not nologin) and I can't see any differences between it and my other users in /etc/passwd or with its group access or anything.
What am I missing?

Post your /etc/passwd file entry for the xmbc user and do a "ls -nd /home/[xbmc]" where [xbmc] is the user name of your xmbc user.

Some offerings are missing user input, some are not mapping to activites

Seemingly out of the blue my system has stopped mapping request offering answers to (manual) activities (mapping to the SR itself works), neither OotB properties or custom properties. This only happens when submitting them from the portal (ALL
offerings)
Also, some requests are even missing user input (and obviously no mapping is possible).
This issue seem to affect all users. Even admins
I have tried restarting the web content server and also the website on the sharepoint server. I have also tried creating a brand new template and offering in a brand new MP.
I have been able to track down a ca. point in time this issue arose, but not found anything in logs anywhere (except SMPortalTrace). Checked web content server event log and website log, SQL log, event log on both management servers.
I have checked the SMPortalTrace.log and for every request submitted I get an error (not visible in the portal) - some is in danish, so I have translated at the best of my ability:
Failed to parse the description with links., System.ArgumentNullException: [ArgumentNull_Generic]
Ressourcestrings for troubleshooting is not available. Keys and arguments often contains enough information to start the troubleshooting a problem. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=106663&Version=5.1.30214.00&File=mscorlib.dll&Key=ArgumentNull_Generic
ParameterName: input
At System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Matches (String input)
At Microsoft.Enterprisemanagement.ServiceManager.Portal.RequestOfferingSilverlightModule.UriParser.ParseDescription(string description)
The system is SCSM 2012 R2 UR2 (except the SP part of the portal)
Update:
I found that if the user input is missing even from the SR then the error does not present itself in the SMPortalTrace.log, only if the user input goes through (but is not mapped to activities).
http://codebeaver.blogspot.dk/

The issue seems to be related to a syntactically valid type projection in the Service Request form (customized) - I added a component to the existing projection. As the template that a request offering is based on has a reference to this projection I guess
the code that creates the Service Request submitted from the portal somehow ignores the "unwanted" type projection component, and instead of not submitting the request it continues but is unable to map into child activities. I will try and reproduce
this in more detail.
Solution: Revert to original type projection in the SR form and everything went back to normal.

Missing user profiles in mysites

I have a question about missing user profiles in our Mysites. We have an SP2013 environment with a number of site collections and sub-sites and occasionally, we are finding that some users are missing their profile. If we click on their user name, in a link
on a page or library, we are directed to a plain page with some very basic information, not our typical user profile page that looks more like SP2013 styling.
Even though the profiles are missing, I find that it is easier to add them from PowerShell, through a script, than to go into the central admin and add them manually, however this brings up a question:
Is there a quick and easy way to determine if a user has a profile?
Currently, I run a script that cycles through each user of each group of each web of each site collection, and checks to see whether that account has a profile. The problem here is that this is a very time-consuming process and many accounts get checked
more than twice if they exist in multiple groups. If the user does not have a profile, I create one.
Is there a faster way to determine if a user has a valid profile, rather than running a check on each user every time? With thousands of users, this script will take a long time to run and create a higher than desired load on our server.

In SharePoint 2003 and MOSS 2007 the user profile was created the first time a user accessed the site, but with 2010 that does
not seem to be the case. It either needs to be created through synchronization, programmatically using the API or PowerShell, or it can be created when the user clicks the profile or mysite the first time
If you want to auto-provision the MySites for a the missing users in your case you will need to do this with custom code as
you said you are writing a power shell script more ever it is one time activity so that is good way as well. You would iterate through the list of users and call either the API, web services, or stsadm if this is a command line script, to create the
site collections.

Missing User Field in Disable Individual Accounts section

We are running on Vibe 3.4.0 build 2835. We have a couple of issues here that has to do with managing users in Vibe. We use LDAP to populate our user accounts in Vibe. Being in a university, our users come and go a lot. They get disabled and re-enabled in eDirectory. When a user gets disabled in eDirectory, they get disabled in Vibe too. When the user comes back and is re-enabled in eDirectory, their account in Vibe does not automatically get re-enabled. I have to go into "User Accounts" in the "Administration Console", select the "Disable/Delete Accounts" tab, locate the disabled user and check the box beside the disabled user, scroll all the way down the list and hit the "Enable Selected Accounts" button. We ask the enabled user to try and login to Vibe and they get a "login failed" error message, even when I do a search of the user in Vibe and their account shows up. This is problem 1. So, next thing I do is to delete the user so I can re-synchronize the user back into Vibe through LDAP sync. The Vibe 3.4 Administration Guide (page 177, Deleting Individual Accounts, item 6) indicates that there is supposed to be a User Field where I can type in the name of the user and I would be able to select the user from the drop-down list that is supposed to appear. I do not see this "User Field" where I can type in the user's name. This is problem 2. So, I end up having to go to the "Select From All Accounts" section, go from page to page until I find the user to delete. Deleting a user in Vibe takes such a long time for us because we have thousands of users and it takes very long to go from one page to the next to get to a user who's first name is towards the end of the alphabet. If the "User Field" existed as the guide indicated, then it would not be such a big deal to delete a user. Even better, if the account were re-enabled in Vibe and the user is able to use it. Or even much better if the user's account in eDirectory were enabled and the account in Vibe were automatically enabled when an LDAP sync is executed. Would appreciate any information in getting this process of re-enabling users in Vibe working better for us, and help in getting the missing User Field to show up. By the way, I've tried this on Chrome, IE, and FireFox and everything I've described here works the same way on the different browsers, including the missing field.
Thanks,
Ronnie

ORA-01935: missing user or role name

Hello. I'm trying to change a users password, logged in as SYS. I'm using the script:
ALTER USER dross IDENTIFIED BY 1111;
Also tried:
ALTER USER "dross" IDENTIFIED BY "1111";
ALTER USER 'dross' IDENTIFIED BY '1111';
ALTER USER 'dross' IDENTIFIED BY 1111;
ALTER USER "dross" IDENTIFIED BY 1111;
Any suggestions on what I could do?

Workgroup Manager missing users running on 10.6.7 client

Strange issue I am coming across while running the most current version of Workgroup Manager (I just downloaded it again to make sure) on a Mac Os X 10.6.7 client! -> I notice that I am missing a lot of users when I log in and the application opens. I have already deleted the corresponding workgroup manager .plist (user/library/preferences) as well but this does not do much other than asking me to enter server and username/password again
Oddly enough ALL the accounts that are "missing" tend to be lower 3digit User ID's only... in fact the ONLY 3digit id that is showing up is my admin account.
Here's the really ODD part - Workgroup manager is only doing this when it is running on a 10.6 client mac! I am running the IDENTICAL version on a 10.5.8 client, logging into the same server, and ALL the missing users magically appear. Using the same server name, same login, same password - So I am pretty sure this issue is only due to some sort of glitch in how Workgroup manager is running on 10.6( my ver is 10.6.7)
AND of course the "missing" user names are still functioning perfectly well w/ clients receiving emails, logging in to folders etc. etc.
I cannot imagine that I am the only person having this issue, and am wondering if Apple or someone else can please give me some guidance as to the source of this problem and hopefully a bug fix / resolution of the same as I don't want to have to downgrade from 10.6 > 10.5 in order to perform user administration on my server (Server is also 10.6.7)
Thanks in advance for your help

You many not know how to do it now, but you will if you follow the instructions in the link. Or you can simply remove the original Home folder you configured in Setup Assistant while logged into the one you migrated. Then re-migrate your Home folder which will now take on the original account username. Then log into the newly migrated Home folder and delete the other one.

Delete item to wastebasket get missing user error

When I tried to delete a document from "my portfolio" in portal to my waste basket, I got error message "missing user". By checking the SAP log trace file, it showed "Cannot instantiate user <anonymous>".
Our Portal (Netweaver 7.0) is SSO to LDAP, and BI backend system. I was logged in to the portal as admin when tried to delete the document. Don't understand the above message why it was trying to instantiate anonymous user?
Any helps will be appreciated.

Missing user from login window at startup

I upgraded to Yosemite a few weeks ago and have had a problem with a user I migrated from Mavericks. The user won't show up in the login window at startup but will once I login with a different user and then logout back to the login window. How can I get my migrated user to show up in the login window at startup?
I did a clean install of Yosemite and then used Migration Assistant to move over my old user from a Mavericks install. My original plan was to import my old user's Document and other data directories and copy them over to a new user's home directory so that my data would be available but I'd clean out old application settings by not moving that as well. Due to how Migration Assistant worked and my disinterest in diving into the details to make this work, I ended up using the migrated account instead.
Here's the problem, the migrated account was using a different home directory path than I preferred ("user_migrated" rather than "user"). I modified pertinent settings in the advanced configuration form available in the Users & Groups preference pane. Everything appears to work fine, except this user does not show up in the login window when I first boot up the machine. If I login to another user, then log out, my migrated user appears and I'm able to login.
I've looked around in Users & Groups and checked settings, but I'm not seeing any difference between my migrated user's settings and other user's (who does show up in the login window) settings.
If anyone has any suggestions, please share!

Found the answer in a post from 2012:
User accounts not appearing in login window
The problem was the migrated user was not authorized to unlock the disk. This is easily fixed by opening up FileVault settings and enabling the missing users.

Missing user accounts in system preference pane 10.6.1?

(I hope this isn't posted under another topic already..)
After reading a post on another site about missing user data in Snow Leopard (http://bit.ly/3wf3v7), I decided to do a little digging on my own machine to see if I'm experiencing any of the same issues..
First of all I'm not readily experiencing any particular bugs since upgrading from 10.5.8 to 10.6.1, but I did notice the following:
-my usual admin user account (me) did not show any other user accounts on the machine in the system preference pane.
-I have fast user switching on, and when I select it the account name at the upper right corner of the screen, it shows all of the accounts that the sys pref pane does not.
-a quick look at my finder reveals on the root level that all of my user accounts are intact as well.
-I switched to another admin account on the machine, and it loaded up fine– upon opening the sys pref on the other admin account, I was able to see all of the other active accounts on the machine in the accounts pane.
-note: the guest account is deactivated, and I've not logged into a guest account since upgrading to 10.6.1.
So my question is: why doesn't my primary user account (obviously an admin account) see the other active accounts in my sys pref accounts pane, but my other admin accounts do? Not a huge deal, but at some point I'll need to make account changes from my user account in regards to the other user accounts and I'll need that functionality at that point.
-note: I've lost no data to my knowledge and I have a TM backup drive active.
Any thoughts from my fellow Mac Geniuses?

Creating an account named abc did not bring back my previous accounts. I had installed Snow Leopard on my iMac several months ago. My hard drive was damaged by SnowLeopard family pack install disk that I was using to update my daughter's Macbook on Friday. When I opened my Mac in target disk mode, there was no system folder on the hard drive. I started to install 10.5.8 so I could use my iMac-didn't get it finished before going to work. Bought a new Snow Leopard install disk on the way home, cancelled the uncompleted install of 10.5.8, and the iMac booted up like a new machine.
All my files are there, but the only user available is the one created while booting up. Migration assistant doesn't see the user accounts on the iMac hard drive.

Missing User Manual for Acrobat 9.0

Along with my recent Design Premium upgrade, I ordered the Adobe CS4 Design Premium User Guide. And much to my surprise, it's complete documentation in separate books! Great!! I didn't know anyone still knew how to do that. So I get a pile of books about six inches high - and there's no manual for Acrobat. Completely missing from the CS4 group. What gives?
Logged a customer service query, after a couple of conversations with some CSRs, found out that Adobe doesn't supply a printed user manual along with all the other applications. Here's the excuse I was given: "The decision was made to not print the manual because we wanted to conserve on paper. Adobe is trying to encourage a paperless world, and our Acrobat product is an important part of that task. So we thought it was counter-productive to actually print the document." I am not making this up. Two of their CSRs stated the same thing, which makes me think that this is a "talking point" they've been given from someone in product marketing to cover the fact that someone screwed up and didn't get the books printed.
I finally got one of the CSRs to admit that, in fact, they actually did produce the manual - just like the others - and you can download it yourself. After a good bit of search, I finally found where it's located. In case you're looking for the same thing, here it is:
Download Help PDF( 27MB)
It's the full 519 pages of documentation that should have been published - just like all the others I bought. This is just an oversight by someone at Adobe, plain and simple. The CSR told me that I couldn't order the printed bound version. But something tells me this is probably not the case - Adobe's probably just behind in getting books like this one published.
If anyone knows another avenue to communicate with someone at Adobe who's better informed than the CSRs I spoke to earlier, please let me know. I actually have more faith in Adobe to do the right thing and make good on sending me the book that I've already, in essence, purchased from them. If they're behind, that's okay. We all make mistakes. But to give the lamest of excuses is intolerable. Insulting, to say the least.
And someone in their marketing department ought to know better.

Additionally you can get the same content by going to Help>Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Help... which takes you to the HTML help files in the product or you can go to the direct link on the web at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Professional/index.html or via the Acrobat Community Help.

Missing user-defined fields (project definition) in project inform. system

Dear PS friends,
I have extended the CI_PROJ structure with some user-defined fields.
I have started report RCNCT001 (to analyze these new fields in the project information system). The include RCNPROJR was generated and contains the new fields (table XXL_DATA). Include RCNSOM00 was generated too. This is described in note 43493.
But Iu2019m still missing the new user-defined fields in the dynamic selection of reports (e.g. CN40).
What else I have to do? We use SAP_APPL : SAPKH60009
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

have you used user defined field or custom field via exit CNEX......
User defined fields are activated by configuration using field key
If you added custom fields then check out OSS note 188663 on how to create a CUS view for dynamic selection.

Missing user variable input values in export to excel functionality

Hi,
I have a problem in exporting data into excel, I could able to export the data with complete result rows but i am not able to see the user input variable values.
To be in detail: The moment i execute the report in web, user gives the initial variable values as selections and run a report. The data will be displayes as per the user selections. Then the user clicks on export to excel (designed as per SAP how to), now the excel data shows the body of the results but the initial input variable values are missing.
It would be really good if we also export variable values along with the report output.
If any of you solved this requirement, could you please help me in solving this.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Varada

Hi,
Here is a solution to make visible the Values of variables you selected in the Excel File.....
1.Create a Web Template with an Analysis Item and Info Field Item
2.Assign the Data Provider which contains varaibles to the Analysis Item
3.Assign the same Data Provider to an Info Field Item
4.In the Properties of Info Field Item,
Set the Visibility as "Visible"
Data Binding as "Variable Value" and mention the varaible
Save the Web template->Execute and Export to Excel
Now you will get it in Excel file
For more info....

Missing user folder from Workspace and FR studio

Hi All,
Recently we upgraded the workspace and applications... Initially there were all the folders, but i noticed that user folder from workspace and FR studio was missing... If anyone have come across this issue please let me know how to solve it.
Awaiting for response, Thanks in advance

Just to make sure I understand. When you double click the hard drive icon either in the sidebar or on your desktop (if you have it shown there) there is no users folder shown? If that is the case then it must somehow have become invisible. If there was in actuality no user folder at all your Mac would not boot.
If that is the case then you may have to use the terminal to get it back. I can't help you with that though, sorry. Another possibility is that there is some sort of corruption in a cache file. You could use a tool such as YASU or others to do a light cache cleaning which may solve the problem.
