New Users not visible at login

  • 772

I have created a couple of new users via the Users and Groups GUI for Ubuntu 16.04, however they are not available on the log in screen (nor log out/ switch user).

I used the same method on a virtual machine (as a test) and it worked. I have googled and found no questions similar to mine so I have no idea where to go next.

I have not tried to create a user via the CLI.

Any suggestions as to why I cannot log in via the new user?

Thanks!

  1. It was a Cinnamon Desktop thing. I accidentally placed my mouse cursor over only visible user and a list showed up, allowing me to select a user.
