Hello Nikita, or anyone else affected, Accepted accountsservice into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/0.6.40-2ubuntu11.3 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance! ** Description changed: Impact ------- Logout times for users are correct if user logs off and then shutdown from GDM, however logout times are wrong if user shutdowns directly from the user session, because DEAD_PROCESS record is missing in that case and BOOT_TIME record is used instead. Therefore the logout time will be shown in the login-history (in the gnome-control-center) just before the next login time rather than when the logout actually occurred. Test case ---------- 1. Make sure that you have turned on and logged into the machine and then turned off from the user session several times with enough distance between them for you to tell that the timestamps are correct. 2. Check that after applying the patch that the timestamps show the correct times for the logins and logouts and not what is described in the Impact section above. Regression potential -------------------- I have not encountered any regressions while testing this patch. - + [bdmurray] - What could go wrong? What should a user testing this look for? ---------------------- Original description: I have found that in "System Settings > User Accounts" that if you select an account and then select the button called "History" (which is meant to show the login history for that account), it will show you when you last logged in as "Session Started", but it will show that you "Session Ended" just before you login the next time. To clarify what I mean, let's say that yesterday I logged into my account on this machine at 14:29, and then sometime near 23:00 I logged out, and then this morning I logged into my account somewhere around 11:20, it will show this: Today 11:20 Session Started Today 11:19 Session Ended Yesterday, 14:29 Session Started So it assumes that the last session ended when you log into a new one, so the bug seems to be that it does not log when a session ends properly, and only logs it when a new session starts. I have attached a screenshot to show my example as I see it in the History GUI. I have found this bug to be present in Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18, and Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20. ** Changed in: accountsservice (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed ** Changed in: accountsservice (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to accountsservice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1443052 Title: User accounts login history showing incorrect history - patch Status in accountsservice: Unknown Status in gnome-control-center: Unknown Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Triaged Status in accountsservice package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in accountsservice source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in accountsservice source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Bug description: Impact ------- Logout times for users are correct if user logs off and then shutdown from GDM, however logout times are wrong if user shutdowns directly from the user session, because DEAD_PROCESS record is missing in that case and BOOT_TIME record is used instead.
