Bug Description
Impact:
Systems using LightDM have no entries in the utmp record for logins, so tools like 'w' and 'who' do not show LightDM sessions.
Testcase:
1. Start Ubuntu system
2. Log into session
3. Open gnome-terminal
4. Run 'who' command
Expected result:
You should see TWO entries (the first is from LightDM, the second is from gnome-terminal):
<username> tty7 YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM
<username> pts/0 YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM (:0)
Observed result:
You see only one entry:
<username> pts/0 YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM (:0)
Regression potential:
Bugs in utmp code cause cause issues logging in
