On the F8 machine, my main X session is on Ctrl-Alt-F7, as expected. However, my wife has an X session running on Ctrl-Alt-F9, which she got via "Switch User". We have been going back and forth like that for weeks. On my F10 machine, my main X session is on Ctrl-Alt-F1, as expected. However, Ctrl-Alt-F2 (or "switch user") bring me to a console login. Trying to "startx" tells me that "Server is already active for display 0" and recommends deleting the /tmp/.X-lock file. I don't want to do that and disable my main session; I want a second X session as another user. Any of the Ctrl-Alt-Fn combinations don't seem to help here. Is this no longer possible in F10? The upgrade of my home desktop depends upon this functionality. -Don -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
