User avatar selection lost on upgrading to 3.27.90
- From GNOME 3.26, open GNOME Settings > Details > Users.
- Click the picture next to your name and choose the Astronaut.
- Upgrade to gnome-control-center 3.27.90
What Happens
Your avatar now shows the generic person icon instead of the astronaut
The Problem
The "faces" update in ffe5aac8 totally removed some pictures.
Suggested Fixes
-
Could we add the original file names back?
-
Or could we revert this change for 3.28 and try again in 3.30 once we have suitable avatars for the original file names?
-
Or could we save the old files somewhere so that they aren't lost on upgrade?
-
Or we could introduce a separate legacy faces project that distros would need to package.
