Bug#463598: /var/run/utmp exists, but wdm still doesn't register the session

It's strange, because the sessreg command is in its place in file /etc/X11/wdm/Xstartup: --- # Insert a utmp entry for the session if grep -q ^use-sessreg /etc/X11/wdm/wdm.options; then exec sessreg -a -l $DISPLAY -u /var/run/utmp -x /etc/X11/wdm/Xservers $USER # NOTREACHED fi --- and the option use-sessreg is enabled in /etc/X11/wdm/wdm.options. I tried to install xdm and it does register the session with almost identical sessreg command (the only difference is the -x parameter which is set to /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers there)... I replaced wdm Xstartup with xdm Xstartup and s/xdm/wdm/g. No luck, it still does not register session. I have verified that $DISPLAY and $USER values just before the sessreg call are correct and so that the sessreg line is processed if use-sessreg is enabled. I am curious, did it register session at some time? In the box where wdm is installed last time /var/log/wdm.log was updated was long time ago, on November 2005 for sid. I wonder what happened at that time. I think about something related to xfree86 - xorg transition (last xfree86 log in this sid box is from September 2005). By the way, just noticed why /var/log/wdm.log was not updated. It was indeed the expected behavior. Somewhere around 1.27 (Seems to be 1.27-1, according to changelog, in reply to #242155), wdm-config was modified to have messages be sent to syslog as default, while previous default was /var/log/wdm.log. And that happened in late 2004 amd hit me in 2005. I have checked my /var/log/syslog and it indeed contains wdm messages. If I modify wdm-config to not use syslog, messages are sent again to /var/log/wdm.log. Adam, I am aware this bug is 3 years old and you no longer use wdm, but do you remember if when noticing the problem you checked /var/log/wdm.log, or it was /var/log/syslog?

Package: wdm Version: 1.28-3.5 Followup-For: Bug #463598 Hello! Let me firstly thank you for your work on this package and for reading this:) So here's what the report is about: I've also noticed that wdm doesn't register the session it starts to utmp, but in my case /var/run/utmp exists on my system. It's strange, because the sessreg command is in its place in file /etc/X11/wdm/Xstartup: --- # Insert a utmp entry for the session if grep -q ^use-sessreg /etc/X11/wdm/wdm.options; then exec sessreg -a -l $DISPLAY -u /var/run/utmp -x /etc/X11/wdm/Xservers $USER # NOTREACHED fi --- and the option use-sessreg is enabled in /etc/X11/wdm/wdm.options. I tried to install xdm and it does register the session with almost identical sessreg command (the only difference is the -x parameter which is set to /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers there)... I reinstalled wdm with default configuration, but the problem remained there. Then i tried to install wdm from sid, but it still doesn't register the session.
