Originally from https:/launchpad.net/bugs/155508

Python's os.getlogin() function fails when it is runs under Konsole/any
embedded Konsole. It does not fail under virtual consoles, xterm, or gnome's
terminal.
To reproduce, enter the following in Konsole:

python
import os; os.getlogin()

This will result in:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Expected result would be for your username to be returned.
