Dear All,

I am running XFCE on F9, and I would like to know how to allow two
different users to login on my machine at the same time. On F8, I
remember a menu entry

System --> New Login

but I cannot find it on F9.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

No good, as I am using XFCE and not KDE.

Don't recall the menu placement offhand but run gdmflexiserver command
to get the same effect.

Thanks, Rahul, but it does not work:

$ gdmflexiserver
** (gdmflexiserver:3910): DEBUG: checking if seat can activate sessions

** (gdmflexiserver:3910): WARNING **: Unable to create transient
display: The name org.gnome.DisplayManager was not provided by any
.service files

Thanks, Rahul, but it does not work:


Are you using gnome screensaver? If so you might try locking your screen
and click switch user in there.

No, I am using XscreenSaver. How to switch to gnome screensaver?

you do not mention *how* login is desire, that is, with different
computers thru lan, serial ports, usb, or wireless.

something i ran across a few months back for multi-seat;

http://linuxgazette.net/124/smith.html

this maybe a 'little' more than what you want, but it does leave you
room for expansion.

interesting reading anyway.

Sorry, I misread your post and thought you meant KDE.
