Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.
I am able to confirm this issue using Oneiric Ocelot. When running /usr/bin/who in a terminal in the live session, I see ubuntu tty3 2011-10-12 22:11 ubuntu tty2 2011-10-12 22:11 ubuntu tty5 2011-10-12 22:11 ubuntu tty6 2011-10-12 22:11 ubuntu tty4 2011-10-12 22:11 ubuntu tty1 2011-10-12 22:11 When I run the same command on a fresh installation of Xubuntu, I see no response. If I run it in TTY1, I get $USER tty1 2011-10-12 16:15 Running the same command in terminal in Xubuntu 10.04, I get the expected user as a response. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better! ** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861388 Title: /usr/bin/who returns no user...
