Workaround found! Issue was systemd not providing /var/run/utmp
added a script to /etc/rc.local that does
if [ ! -f /var/run/utmp ]
then
cat /dev/null > /var/run/utmp ; chown root:utmp /var/run/utmp
fi

Title:
who returns no results
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Who returns no results on xenial.
Here's an strace. I don't see any obvious difference between it and
an strace on a system that works (an unupdated xenial or a bionic
system).
