FYI, I had already reported this issue in 2024: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1087642
but the bug was closed without any solution. Note that there is the same issue with systemd's shutdown command: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/35246 On 2025-11-17 13:58:18 +0000, Paul Kerry wrote: > Is this then a loginctl/systemd related issue? If "wall" expects the terminal to be part of the loginctl output, then unfortunately, no login sessions have an attached TTY in my case. But anyway, all terminals should normally be listed because the goal is that the user should have the information at least in the terminal he/she is watching. So I suppose that bugs should be reported against these terminals (as this is where utmp was handled). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
