Here the context is not wtmpdb, but the "wall" utility. You said: Make sure your sessions are listed in `loginctl` output (with a TTY). If they are not, make sure you have libpam-systemd installed and systemd-logind is running. Since the sessions are *not* listed in `loginctl` output, this means that the terminal is not doing the correct things. -- 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)
