> We could filter out non-graphical logins by checking if the tty is less than 7
gdm3 in Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 (and backported to 16.04 via the Staging PPA because why not?) starts on vt1 and the first login is vt2, etc. That change was made in Debian's gdm3 packaging. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1380364 Title: lightdm writes XDISPLAY instead of tty device name to utmp record Status in Light Display Manager: Fix Released Status in Light Display Manager 1.10 series: New Status in Light Display Manager 1.14 series: New Status in Light Display Manager 1.16 series: New Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Until now, I've been using good old gdm-2.20.11 and wanted to switch to lightdm-1.12.1. If you list users logged in via the 'w' or 'who' command, it shows you who is logged in and what they are doing. Especially, on which tty. Example: USER TTY LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT user tty9 03Oct14 16days 1:52m 0.01s /bin/sh /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc -- /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc Also, 'who' gives this information: user tty9 Oct 3 22:34 (:20) However, lightdm does not follow that tradition. Instead, it prints :0 instead of the actual tty, and something weird for other values (like ?xdm? instead of the idle value etc.) 'w': USER TTY LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT user :0 19:50 ?xdm? 23.82s 0.01s /bin/sh /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc -- /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc Note: :0 is not tty, it is DISPLAY env. 'who': user :0 2014-10-12 19:50 (:0) The same for this one. I wonder, is this a bug (to me it seems so, because for every other program the correct values are reported)? It is a problem for me, because I have written scripts for automation etc. that parse w and who output to determine which tty is in use by which DISPLAY.
