Guest Keldo Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 I'm running Mandrake 10 Official, and wondering why "who" and "w" don't show any X session users at all? Is there some way to fix this? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinynorman Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Sorry about the multiple posts, I thought preview wouldn't post the actual message - is there someway to delete them? Welcome to the board. :) I can fix the multiple posts but preview doesn't actually post... I'm not sure about your problem. 'who' shows me on my machine, although 'w' doesn't... Have you done 'man who' or 'man w'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Keldo Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Well I have mandrake boot directly into KDE, and when I type "who" or "w" in a terminal, no users are displayed. However if I change to tty1 and do a login there, returning to the terminal will display that user name with a "w" or "who". I'm trying to get the Gkrellm WHO2 Plugin to work, but it uses "w" and hence doesn't display any users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 as root: ln -s /usr/bin/who /usr/bin/w who only reports people logged in at a console, AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Keldo Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Both w and who exists as binaries, so a link won't help I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
