LightDM currently assigns each seat a different VT and switches to that VT when starting X. This is why hitting Ctrl-Alt-F7 and Ctrl-Alt-F8 switch between the two seats.
The proper way to handle multiseat is to have only the primary seat switch to a VT, then have all other seats share that VT with the -sharevts argument. LightDM doesn't currently support this, but I have some changes to LightDM in progress to add more complete multiseat support. If you are using Ubuntu, please try installing the version of LightDM in my PPA (<https://launchpad.net/~a7x/+archive/multiseat>): sudo apt-add-repository ppa:a7x/multiseat sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade More complete instructions can be found by visiting the PPA page. ** Changed in: lightdm Assignee: (unassigned) => a7x (a7x) ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => a7x (a7x) ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: lightdm Status: New => In Progress ** Branch linked: lp:~a7x/lightdm/multiseat ** Branch linked: lp:~a7x/ubuntu/saucy/lightdm/multiseat -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/903194 Title: multiseat not set up correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/903194/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
