I have been doing some searching on the web and found (among others in other languages): 1) Apparently the communication SDDM with /var/run/utmp was problematic in the beginning. 'utmp' is listed as something to take up in this TODO list of 'unfinished' business in SDDM (2014): https://github.com/sddm/sddm/wiki/TODO 2) The problems with 'who', 'w', 'users', 'last' are discussed extensively in a Mageia bugzilla from 2016/2017: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18032 The 'blame' is laid on SDDM (which "can't run a script as root"? to correct the problem). But something seems to have been "solved" in KDE/Plasma but not in LXQT (Ed Greshko and web reports) 3) The combination SDDM, LXQT, Systemd is (or can be) flaky sometimes. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=227292 I too have experienced problems like this. 4) That this is a problem with SDDM-utmp (or whatever) is clear from the following; Login from the SDDM screen in LXQT and 'who', w', 'users', 'last' do NOT show the users, but switch to a console (CTL-ALT-F3) (or login to level 3 directly) and everything works as expected.
