I have two users on my computer (ubuntu linux 16.04) and I want to be able to have them both logged in at the same time on different virtual consoles.
I have followed instructions here but the process fails.
This is what happens:
- I boot my computer and login with my main user
- I switch to virtual console 1 with ctrl+alt+F1 and login with my second user.
- I run the command
startx gnome-session -- :1 vt8 - The screen turns black and nothing happens
What I am able to do from here is this:
- I can switch back to my main login with ctrl+alt+F7
- I can switch to virtual console 8 where the screen is black
- I can switch to virtual console 9 and above where I am met with a blinking input cursor
- I can switch back to virtual console 1 where the output below is show
What can be the problem with getting the second user on virtual console 8? I know this has worked at least one time in the past.
Here is the output visible in virtual console 1
