Not sure yet about the lxterminal zombie processes. It ought to be the combined failure of fork/TIOSCTTY/setsid.

The missing utmp entries are most certainly due to the incorrect gnome-pty-helper path. Not sure yet about the lxterminal zombie processes. Would you mind testing 1:0.28.2-3 packages with a fixed libdir path? I can provide binaries, if you want. Just tell me your architecture.

Looking into "libvte.so.9" I can also see the faulty path to "gnome-pty-helper". The failure of "lxterminal" is best seen in this printout: $ ps ax | grep term 407 pts/1S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto term 28544 ?Ss 0:00 xterm 31865 ?Ssl0:01 lxterminal 31873 ?Z 0:00 [lxterminal] $ who -u /var/run/utmp mats tty2 2011-12-11 13:03 00:16 10959 mats tty1 2011-12-11 12:48 00:153015 mats pts/02011-12-11 18:05 00:06 28544 (:0) Observe that "pts/2" with PID 31865 is missing.

The squeeze version apparently has the correct path: # strings /usr/lib/libvte.so.9 | fgrep /gnome-pty-helper /usr/lib/libvte9/gnome-pty-helper # ls /usr/lib/libvte9/gnome-pty-helper -la -rwxr-sr-x 1 root utmp 10064 30.

Curious, apparently the path to gnome-pty-helper is currently not correctly set in libvte9 [1]. This would explain the incorrect utmp/wtmp entries. Not quite sure what you meant with "corrupted".

As I couldn't reproduce the issue and no further info was provided, I'm downgrading the severity and tag it accordingly. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Bug#650462: gnome-pty-helper: Producing zombies and corrupts UTMP.
Package: libvte9 Version: 0.28.2-1 Severity: serious When using lxterminal_0.1.11-1 and libvte9_0.28.2-1 together with either of openbox, dwm, or wmii, each invokation of lxterminal produzes one zombie process and one live process. In addition, /var/run/utmp and /var/log/wtmp are corrupted. Downgrading to libvte9_0.24.3-3, but keeping lxterminal_0.1.11-1, restores correct functionality: no zombie process, and valid UTMP and WTMP entries.
