[Bug 1486558] [NEW] User accounts login history showing incorrect history in Gnome 3.16

 

Public bug reported:

I am running Ubuntu Gnome 15.04, with Gnome Shell, and Gnome 3.16, and
since I upgraded to 3.16 from 3.14 (as the issue didn't appear to be
present when running 3.14, although perhaps it was just a matter of
time, and not the version of Gnome that I had) I have noticed the same
issue as I reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/unity-control-center/+bug/1443052

The issue being that if I go to "Settings > Users" and clicking the
"History" button, it will show you when you last logged in as "Session
Started", but it will show that you "Session Ended" just before you
login the next time. So to clarify what I mean, let's say that yesterday
I logged into my account on this machine at 14:29, and then sometime
near 23:00 I logged out, and then this morning I logged into my account
somewhere around 11:20, it will show this:

        Today 11:20 Session Started
        Today 11:19 Session Ended
        Yesterday, 14:29 Session Started

So it assumes that the last session ended when you log into a new one,
so the bug seems to be that it does not log when a session ends
properly, and only logs it when a new session starts.

I provided a lot more information here when asking about it in Unity:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/629373/user-account-history-showing-
incorrectly And although that was Unity and this is Gnome, I think that
the information will still help.

I have also attached a screenshot of what I mean just to fully clarify
(Login_History_Incorrect.png).
