Multiple X sessions
Multiple X sessions were possible with 2 (or more) different users in Suse. You would click 'start new session' while in KDE, and a login screen would come up - then a different user could log in. You could switch between the sessions by hitting ctrl-alt-F7 for the first, ctrl-atl-F8 for the second and so on.
So here in slackware, I press ctrl-alt-F2 and login under a different user. I type: startx --:1 and this is my error: Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again. When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages. Please report problems to xfree86@xfree86.org. I get the same error if I try it the way I described above, or I just do it from the console without going to the 2nd (ctrl-alt-F2). Since I have a dual-head card (Xinerama = true) , I have tried startx --:2 thinking that maybe the 2 monitors took up monitor 0 and 1 - no luck. I have X version 4.4.0. Slackware 9.1, and KDE 3.2.2. Hope that give you enough info. Thanks a lot - tw |
well try startx -- :1.1 but at your own risk lol

I did it with gdm, but had to start gnome to do it..
getting there.... any help though would be appreciated... |
It is very possible.. With xandros linux they made an addon for kde that allows you to switch users (multiple sessions)

Anyone made a plugin to allow users to switch sessions in kde and to switch then as a differnt user what i mean is where i click new session and it lets me choose which user i want to switch to in the new session.. And then where i click switch user to get another choice of which user to switch back to..

thanks r_jenson11 for pointing out the space... I found that reference many places, but nothing ever mentioned a space that I found.
got it working and I can swithc bakc and forth between users (ctrl-alt-F7 and ctrl-alt-F8, I am guessing I can add a third, but 2 is cool, thats all I really need. And a follow up question for iotc247: " Anyone made a plugin to allow users to switch sessions in kde..... " Anyone?? do you have a link to the plugin you are refering too?? |
it was a questions tw.. Like anyone made a plugin to allow users to switch sessions in kde???? i just dont like using question marks for everything...

If you're using gdm, you can start a second X session while logged in with the command gdmflexiserver
I haven't tried it in KDE, only GNOME, but I can't see why it shouldn't work. |
