I ran the uptime command in the terminal window and it says 2 users.



( 14:57 up 17 mins, 2 users, load averages: 0.57 0.57 0.44)



I'm the only one logged in. Why does it show 2 users?

    One is your graphical log in, the other your Terminal one. Each additional Terminal window would create yet another log in. 'w' or 'who' can show you the list of logins. The UI one will show up as "console".
