I am trying to understand the differences between logname and LOGNAME from Difference between logname and $LOGNAME and https://askubuntu.com/questions/490620/difference-between-logname-and-logname
On Lubuntu 18.04, why did I get logname: no login name?
t@ocean:/t/t/bkg$ echo $LOGNAME
t
t@ocean:/t/t/bkg$ logname
logname: no login name
t@ocean:/t/t/bkg$ su t
Password:
t@ocean:/t/t/bkg$ logname
logname: no login name
$ echo $?

t@ocean:/t/t/bkg$ cat /var/run/utmp

t@ocean:/t/t/bkg$ sudo su
[sudo] password for t:
root@ocean:/tmp/test/bkg# logname
logname: no login name
root@ocean:/tmp/test/bkg# echo $LOGNAME
root
What is logname supposed to output?
Thanks.
From man logname:
logname - print user´s login name
Print the name of the current user.

Mark suspected the cause is that my lxterminal doesn't add an entry to utmp.
Pandya: Oh. Seems a bug with entry as you've concluded.

Moving the helpful comments into a chatroom, which will disappear eventually, is very unfortunate. I have to manually save some comments from the chatroom.

If the comments are useful, they should be moved to the question or answer they are commenting upon. Comments are designed to be ephemeral and are not the place to have discussions.

The policy saying comments are not for extended discussion is an incorrect and harmful policy. The discussion of a question or answer belongs with the question or answer, i.e. in the comments. I have refused to cooperate with this policy for years and I advise you to do the same, Tim. @terdon
