[SOLVED] logname: no login name

I have installed Arch Linux yesterday with Gnome, GDM and NVIDIA proprietary driver.
I have to install NVIDIA proprietary driver because with Nouveau when I close the Gnome session, the PC hangs. I had the same problem with Fedora 23.

The problem is logname: 'logname: no login name'. This problem occurs with gnome-terminal, terminator and vte but it works well in xterm. I have searched for this error but the info that I've found it doesn't help me. I use Fish shell and when it starts up call that command.

What "command" does fish call?

Re: [SOLVED] logname: no login name

^ logname.

The question is, why does it call that? Have you told it to? A fresh install of fish on my system does not call logname when I run it. If you have told it to run it, why have you? I get the same message when I run logname manually, but for the life of me I can't see the point in the utility when 'whoami' and 'echo $USER' report the name information that this utility is supposedly supposed to.

Re: [SOLVED] logname: no login name

I see the code and the problem was a prompt from Oh-my-fish:

 ...
   # Test user type:
    if [ $USER = "root" ]
        # User is root.
        set color "red"
    else if [ $USER != (logname) ]
         # User is not login user.
        set color "yellow"
    else
        # User is normal (well ... most of us are).
        set color "green"
    end
....

I have commented that code.
