| Message-ID | <plrkp1$2cl$1@dont-email.me> |
I am running mageia 6 with sddm and plasma as the desktop manager, My wife and I both use the computer, and since I am usually first on, she starts by going to a console screen (alt-ctl-F3 say) logging in and running startx -- :1 That brings up X, a bit hesitantly (Ie, it seems to take longer than it should) but it works. When she logs out of X either with alt-ctrl-Bksp twice or via the logout option from the desktop, there is a completely black screen left over (well it seems to have dark grey stripes which can change barely visible). Ie, it does not return to the console as it should. If I then do alt-ctrl-F2, alt-ctrl-F3 the console comes up again. Ie it seems that the logout did not quite finish from X. (Since I logged on from the sddm greeter, if I do alt-ctrl-Bksp twice, the system brings up the greeter again.) Any hints as to what might be wrong?

I want her to be able to log on with a desktop, even if I am already logged on. Her loggin on is not the problem. Her system being left with a blank screen when she logs off is the problem. > >> Any hints as to what might be wrong? >> > Some combinations of nVidia driver and nVidia graphics cards seems to > always had this issue and the combination may change with different > versions of the driver.

Either she starts a new seat with "switch user" from your session or you configure the desktop manager by default at least to start two seats. -- //Aho

With similar setup, if the SO wants to login I just fire up 'Switch User' and use the greeter to do the login. From then on just swap as required from one to other via Ctl+Alt+F1 or F2.

On the LXDE panel it is on the logout icon. Clicking it gets a menu with several options. Switch user is one. That said, I do use the LXDM login manager, too.

How it looks in sddm I'm not sure as I'm still using KDM and in the process of converting my multi seat configuration to LightDM, but nowadays even sddm has support for multi seated setup. -- //Aho

Just configure your ssdm to start two seats instead of just one, then you can decide she gets the first one and you take the other one, but of course then you won't have this to whine about ;) -- //Aho

I have never seen that option. You have a starting point on this page (see bottom): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multiseat It's not a simple as it used to be with KDM, you need to play with udev rules and logind (if you use the systemd). LightDM do have better support for multi-seat than sddm. -- //Aho
