OK, first things first. This is a quick but relatively comprehensive overview of ttys, vts etc.: https://mostlylinux.wordpress.com/troubleshooting/ttysessions/ In my rhbz post, I wrote that when your system is set to boot into graphical mode, when you kill the wayland server (or gdm I suppose), gdm spawns a new login manager session, while the previous Xorg instance with your desktop environment is left running. So you can keep killing wayland (or perhaps gdm?), getting to a new login prompt and starting new X sessions, until you run out of ttys. I believe that is what you are experiencing, i.e. when you dock the laptop, gdm hangs up and respawns. You can check with something like ps ax | grep -E "X|wayland" and see what is running on which tty. For example, if you get something similar to 1812 tty2 Sl+ 0:35 /usr/libexec/Xorg vt2 -displayfd 3 -auth /run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority -nolisten tcp -background none -noreset -keeptty -verbose 3 3016 tty4 Sl+ 0:22 /usr/libexec/Xorg vt4 -displayfd 3 -auth /run/user/1000/gdm/Xauthority -nolisten tcp -background none -noreset -keeptty -verbose 3 you can tell that you have one graphical session running on tty2 and another one on tty4 and you can switch between them with Ctrl+Alt+F4 and Ctrl+Alt+F2. Perhaps someone knowledgeable can give a more accurate description. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
