[Bug 2073169] Re: w command shows incorrect idle time for all users

Wed Oct 16 18:59:35 UTC 2024

Hello Calvin
I was excited to try the fix.  However, the idle time is showing the actual
elapsed time logged in.
As well, if there are 2 connections from one machine, both get the same
elapsed time.

example:
 14:53:42 up 1 day, 48 min,  4 users,  load average: 3.24, 3.21, 3.18
USER     TTY      FROM             LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU  WHAT
root     tty1     -                Tue16   22:04m  4:00m  1:52m rsync -val
--progress /external/......
root              192.168.0.15     Tue20   *24:48m*  0.00s  3.41s sshd:
root at pts/0
root              192.168.0.15     14:53   *24:48m * 0.00s  0.04s sshd:
root at pts/1

pts/0 should have been about 15m in this case

Do I need to make a new bug report?

Title:
  w command shows incorrect idle time for all users

Status in procps package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

  Notice that all have identical idle times, which is the bug.  Idle
  times should be very different between users.

  This appears to be only on 24.04LTS, previous versions do no do this
  ie: 20.04, 22.04, 23.10.
