Is lightdm really using accountsservice? It's not listed as a dependency nor even recommends. gdm behaves correctly and depends on accountsservice.
I'm inclined to believe that it's behaving incorrectly with regards the dbus interaction, but that's all way over my head. Let me know if you want me to test anything. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/870297 Title: Lightdm logins not being logged in wtmp Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When logged into a graphical session, I get no acknowledgement from who, w or last that I am logged in: $ who $ w 16:48:14 up 1 day, 1:08, 0 users, load average: 0.68, 0.83, 0.84 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT last only reports tty logins, not graphical logins.
