Bug#878956: sddm doesn't update utmp or wtmp
Package: sddm
Version: 0.15.0-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
sddm doesn't seem to update /run/utmp or /var/log/wtmp. Logging in with it, the
'w' command gives me:
> ron@khufu:~$ w
> 21:09:47 up 36 min, 0 users, load average: 0.10, 0.08, 0.20
> USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
'last' gets me:

... and so on. (Lots of reboots because the box is dual-boot, and I need
Windows for games).
Finally, looking at both /var/run/utmp and /var/log/wtmp with bvies shows lots
of reboots, with the occasional SSH login. No logins from sddm.
Problem has been in evidence since I first installed sddm, long ago. Not
reported before because I assumed someone else would get to it first.
This also happens on my work Linux box.
Thanks,
.....Ron
