And, FWIW, you can simply do "dnf install sddm-breeze sddm-kcm" which will add 80 packages to your system and get "who" and "users" and "last" to react as you desire. Frankly, that isn't a major problem not to record graphic logins. But if you need it, that will get you there with the least number of added packages AFAIK. I could narrow it down. But it seems like an unnecessary exercise. If want, you could write a Bugzilla against LXQt and not recording logins in wtmp. All of this seems a minor nit to me. -- Fedora Users List - The place to go to speculate endlessly
