Hello,
- WAPT Enterprise 2.4
- agent version: 2.2.3
- server OS (Linux)
- administration OS (Windows)
Hello, I've noticed that the username information for some of my Linux workstations is returning "gdm" instead of the session username. Do I need to create a package to return this information, or should I review the configuration of the agents deployed on the Linux machines (they are running Ubuntu 22.04)?
Thank you, Thomas.

Good morning
On the machines that have the problem, can you run these commands to see the result?

Hi Thomas,
when you mention the username, are you referring to the last_logged_on_user, the logged_on_user, or another inventory attribute?
Are users logged in when this behavior occurs?
Actually, after reviewing the code, I think this function can be significantly improved. I'll discuss it with my colleagues.
Best regards,
Denis

Hello,
The problem seems random; it reverts to the correct username instead of "gdm," which is quite strange. And the user, at the moment I see "gdm," is indeed logged in with the username I'm supposed to see.
@dcardon > I was referring to "Logged in users" in my request.
I also tried creating a package using the commands recommended above, but nothing is flagged in the audit log when I put the package on the machine... (I'd like to correct "import psutils" > "import psutil")
Regards, Thomas.
