I attempted to build and install debian packages for updated lightdm + lightdm-gtk-greeter 1.1.4 yesterday, which went fine; I'm expert enough APT user and prefer installing software as packages.

I found that plain old /bin/login also stopped updating /run/utmp /var/log/btmp and, or /var/log/wtmp; the /run is tmpfs mount on Debian these days and /var/run is a symlink to /run

IMHO, something is or may wrong with pam files on Debian; hence w and who report nothing under X and, or over tty terminals.

I have:

[bsd@mon ~]$ uapt version lightdm
1.1.4-1
[bsd@mon ~]$ uapt version lightdm-gtk-greeter
1.1.4-1
[bsd@mon ~]$ lsb_release -a
