Title:
libvte9 fails to record utmp/login entries
Status in “vte” package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in “vte” package in Debian:
New
Bug description:
When using xfce4-terminal (0.4.8-1) on freshly installed Xubuntu 11.10
beta2 x86_64 no utmp entries are being recorded.
On the same machine login, sshd, screen, xterm and gnome-terminal all
record utmp entries successfully.
This is an example output of "w" and "who" run on a machine with
several xfce4-terminals open:
snabb@oil:~$ w
19:47:37 up 2:32, 0 users, load average: 0.52, 2.00, 2.81
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
snabb@oil:~$ who am i
snabb@oil:~$ who -a
system boot 2011-10-02 17:15
run-level 2 2011-10-02 17:15
LOGIN tty4 2011-10-02 17:15 1255 id=4
LOGIN tty5 2011-10-02 17:15 1259 id=5
LOGIN tty2 2011-10-02 17:15 1266 id=2
LOGIN tty3 2011-10-02 17:15 1268 id=3
LOGIN tty6 2011-10-02 17:15 1274 id=6
LOGIN tty1 2011-10-02 17:15 2198 id=1
snabb@oil:~$
This is an example output when xterm is being used (with one window
open). It can be seen that xterm records utmp entries successfully:
snabb@oil:~$ w
19:49:47 up 2:34, 1 user, load average: 0.32, 1.38, 2.48
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT

snabb@oil:~$ who am i

snabb + pts/14 2011-10-02 19:49 . 10462 (:0.0)
snabb@oil:~$
Some additional observations:
- I am surprised that gnome-terminal does NOT exhibit this problem. I
thought that both xfce4-terminal and gnome-terminal just use libvte
routines for utmp handling.
- utmp was recently moved to /run/utmp. Maybe this is related?
I will add additional details to this report in case I notice
something useful.
