Hi guys,
When I run
w command in terminal I get following output>
$ w
22:09:22 up 3:21, 1 user, load average: 0.83, 0.43, 0.50
USER TTY LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
tokaro tty6 18:49 3:20m 0.00s 0.26s xfce4-session
My question is > Why is there, in previous output, no record that user tokaro is on pst/0 like>
USER TTY LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
tokaro pts/0 18:49 3:20m 0.00s 0.26s bash
Thanks for suggestions!

But my utmp gid is 20 already, and I'm getting the same thing but don't have libutempter, so it probably needs installing for w to work fully.
Hi thanks for reply,
I have libutempter 1.2.1-1 installed. When I run w command in XTERM the output displayed is correct.
w
11:49:12 up 1:35, 2 users, load average: 0.18, 0.55, 0.63
USER TTY LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT

tokaro pts/2 11:49 0.00s 0.01s 0.00s w
But in XFCE-terminal (with several tabs opened) i still get only>
w
11:51:15 up 1:37, 1 user, load average: 0.96, 0.73, 0.69
USER TTY LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
tokaro tty6 10:14 1:36m 0.00s 0.26s xfce4-session
Any idea what is wrong?
Thanks!
wrong is probably XFCE-terminal. My konsole (terminal in Plasma) works right too...

Hi,
I have installed one more terminal (Sakura terminal) to see whether is the Xfce terminal guilty. But Sakura terminal shows the same output
w
19:28:18 up 26 min, 1 user, load average: 0.81, 0.63, 0.47
USER TTY LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
tokaro tty6 19:03 26:02 0.00s 0.29s xfce4-session
So i think there is something wrong with Xfce?
One more question > How many TTYs is default?
I can move between Ctrl + F1 - > Ctrl +F6. Xorg is on F6.
But sometimes when i boot into Xfce and try to change to other TTY, Xorg is on F5 or F7.
So i am worried about security.
OR is it just bug in Xfce?
Thanks.
Not all terminals use libutempter, and it doesn't do anything by itself as it's only a library.
pacman -Sii libutempter shows:
Required By : guake kpty mosh tmate tmux xterm
Possibly one of those might help for other terminals, but I'm not so sure. It sounds like kpty might be integrated into KDE and possibly that is why it works there.
It seems this command will get you similar info:
$ lsof /dev/pts/*
I always get my graphical session on tty7 but I'd be surprised if I didn't because I am using startx and have edited /etc/conf.d/agetty.tty7 to give an autologin. So if that changes, it's due to whatever you use to start your desktop session, not the desktop itself.
Hi,
I just run
w command again, and got this output>
w

What is interesting is that the tty i am logged into changes, i have already had >

I am using SDDM as DM, do not know whether it may be related?
Could it be a bug?
I am running Linux-hardened kernel, might it explain this behavior?
