Hello! Also happens with linux-image-4.1.0-2-amd64 4.1.6-1 both "w" and "who".
But there is another interesting detail: tty sessions are shown martin@merkaba:~#1> w 11:06:18 up 3 min, 1 user, load average: 0,86, 0,95, 0,42 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT root tty1 - 11:01 5:13 0.18s 0.13s -zsh martin@merkaba:~> who root tty1 2015-09-11 11:01 while desktop sessions are not shown. (I am currently logged into Plasma 5). Thanks, -- Martin
