LXDM logins not being logged in utmp
This is basically the same as bug #870297, but for LXDM.
Systems using LXDM have no entries in the utmp record for logins, so tools like ’w’ and ’who’ do not show LXDM sessions.
Testcase:
1. Start Lubuntu system
2. Log into session
3. Open gnome-terminal
4. Run ’who’ command
Expected result:
You should see TWO entries (the first is from LXDM, the second is from gnome-terminal):
tty7 YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM
pts/0 YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM (:0)
Observed result:
You see only one entry:
pts/0 YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM (:0)
Additional info:
Used gnome-terminal just for consistency with the LightDM report; lxterminal also doesn’t seem to update login records so if you use it instead, observed result is actually ”no entries at all” (and issue for another report). Also, bug #1027805 about wtmp records is similarly applicable to LXDM, but that remains to be fixed even in LightDM…
