[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#648604: lightdm doesn't update utmp/wtmp

[pere at hungry.com (Petter Reinholdtsen)]

severity 648604 critical
thanks

Hi.  This bug do not only break power management, it also break the
Debian Edu networked profiles in Wheezy, as they use the killer package
to ensure left behind processes for not logged in users are killed
regularly.

When a user log in using lightdm, utmp do not show the logged in user as
a logged in user, and all the session processes are automatically killed
within the hour by killer.

Can you please backport a fix for the version of lightdm in
stable/Wheezy too?  I notice it is fixed in testing and unstable
already.

Setting severity to critical, as this bug break unrelated software on
the system.  Having a release critical severity might also help to get a
fix past the stable release managers.
