    Post Possible bug? Fedora 19's session details seem strange...

    Hello everyone.

    Upon examining my user's login history (Settings -> Users -> History), I've noticed that it's strangely inaccurate. Perhaps this is just me interpreting it wrong, but I'm fairly sure the login history shouldn't be displaying in such a way, so as far as I know this is classified as a bug (or, maybe it's something on my behalf).

    Basically, Fedora says that a sessions starts at a specific time (which seems accurate), but it also states that it ended a few minutes before it started. This left me with a bit of a WTF... it's been doing this consistently. Here's an example:

    Today, 12:40 Session Ended
    Today, 12:41 Session Started
    Yesterday, 16:20 Session Ended
    Yesterday, 16:21 Session Started

    Right now, I'm unsure as to whether I should file this as a bug or mark it down to being my system...
    Does anybody else have the same issue?

    After quickly skimming through /var/log/messages, I found this:

    Sep 1 20:38:39 bob-fedora systemd-logind[670]: New session c2 of user gdm.
    Sep 1 20:38:39 bob-fedora systemd-logind[670]: Linked /tmp/.X11-unix/X1 to /run/user/42/X11-display.
    Sep 1 20:39:21 bob-fedora systemd-logind[670]: System is powering down.
    Sep 1 20:42:50 bob-fedora systemd-logind[660]: New session c1 of user gdm.
    Sep 1 20:42:50 bob-fedora systemd-logind[660]: Linked /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 to /run/user/42/X11-display.
    Sep 1 20:43:16 bob-fedora systemd-logind[660]: New session 1 of user bcaesar.
    Sep 1 20:43:16 bob-fedora systemd-logind[660]: Linked /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 to /run/user/1000/X11-display.
    Sep 1 20:43:37 bob-fedora systemd-logind[660]: Removed session c1.

    I'm not 100% sure what this means, but I believe it's creating a new gdm session then removing it

    What exactly is your problem?

    There's a gdm session for the gdm login screen and a bcaesar session after you login.

    My issue is that the user login history/session details are very strange...
    Look at my first post; do you see how the user login history states that a session ended one or two minutes before it even started? I am curious as to whether this is a bug or something on my system's behalf; do you have a similar issue?
