Sorry for the delay. It seems the shell (called by quake) will only write a utmp entry if called as a login shell. As such, this is not a coreutils issue. 'logname' reports based on utmp entries. If there is none for this process, then there is no log name.
As such, marking Invalid (not a bug). Please feel free to reopen against quake or the shell, if you think this should be provided. ** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: coreutils (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- logname shows no login name anymore after upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205194 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
