Hi all,
I am trying to get gnome (default in tty7) and xfce (in tty1) to run
at the sametime.
I got as far as launching another x server session and xfce4 with the
following command:
startx startxfce4 -- :1
There are couple of issues I am trying to resolve:
1. when I switch back to tty7 X server session in tty1 terminates. How
to fix this?
2. all the start-up applications under Gnome also start in xfce, how
can I completely separate the environments. I would like to keep them
as independent as possible.
I'm just curious, after looking at this thread (but haven't tried).
Could one not start a first X session in one tty,
then go to another (ctrol-alt-#) and login as another user and start a
different X session?
You know, gnu/linux being a multi-user OS and all.
Isn't that kind of how a terminal server works, sort of?
The OP didn't, I think, specify that he wants two X sessions with the
same user.
