Changing KDE user avatar

6

I'm trying to change my user avatar but I can't find the Password & User Account.

In my System Settings → Common Appearance and Behavior → Account Details there are only 2 elements, Paths and Social Desktop.

What package do I need to install? I've installed KDE-Base only on my Arch Linux.

My Kubuntu shows I have kuser and manage-users installed (and, of course, much more - but those look to me like they could be a match). Not sure how those packages are called in arch though... – Johannes H. – 2013-12-07T15:37:52.253

I've installed kdeadmin-kuser but the section is still missing :( Can't find manage-user...I'll google for it – Gigitsu – 2013-12-07T15:51:16.263

Found it! kdepasswd

You might want to answer your own question, for future reference. – Johannes H. – 2013-12-07T18:01:18.923

The missing package was kdepasswd

1kdepasswd in KDE 5 only changes the password and does not let you change the avatar. – Guss – 2016-01-29T10:14:57.340

In KDE 5 (Plasma), the user avatar is stored in the user's home directory:

~/.face.icon

If you are using SDDM as your login-manager, you can also store icons in:

/usr/share/sddm/faces
