logname Command Not Working - 'no login name' Error

[sebastienmascha]

System

• OS: Ubuntu 22
• Version: latest 0.13.1
• Linux/BSD: X11

Issue Description

When running the logname command in Alacritty, it fails to return the current user's login name, displaying the error 'logname: no login name' instead. This behavior differs from other terminal emulators where logname successfully outputs the current user's login name. The issue suggests a potential problem in how Alacritty interacts with user session information on the system.

Expected Behavior

Executing logname in Alacritty should output the current user's login name without any error, consistent with its behavior in other terminal emulators.

Actual Behavior

The command outputs an error message: 'logname: no login name', indicating a failure to fetch the user's login name.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Launch Alacritty.
2. Type logname and press Enter.

Can you try with --config-file /dev/null? This is most likely an issue on your end.
