Hi all.. Attempting to use the latest g-v-m version (2.15.0), which was released today. Unfortunately, it terminates immediately after start, limiting it's use somewhat.
I've traced this to their method for determining whether the user is logged in locally to the machine (which in 1.15.0 was covered by the --disable-multiuser config parameter). Basically, they're looking at the utmp records, for an entry where the tty name (the ut_line column) contains something like :0 (i.e a local X display). Problem is, the utmp records on my machine don't contain such rows - they include entries only for terminal windows, not for the X login itself. Is this something LFS should be doing, or is this some horrible hack used by the distros? It doesn't make a difference whether I login to console and run startx, or login via gdm. Simon.
