Curently the utempter helper isn't work anymore due to the migration from utmp/wtmp support to systemd-logind. It would be nice to have a support for systemd-logind in (lib)utempter as well as currently no login session via e.g. XTerm is seen anymore.

With systemd-logind we don't need libutempter anymore, libsystemd is taking over. As explained in my talks and mails, xterm is not visible anymore because it is no login session, systemd-logind explicit rejects all additions which are not a new login session (don't remember currently anymore how it checks it, somehow if the PID is a new group or so). Historically xterm only created a utmp entry so that the user could see the wall messages. This needs to be solved by the Desktop environment (e.g. on GNOME you will not see any wall messages, the sender get's only an error, on KDE you get flooded with this wall messages...). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
