[Partly solved] Second X session

Postby xxblx » Jul 18th, '15, 19:33

Hello.
With Mageia 4 I was able to start new X for gaming on :1 with
Code: Select all
xinit `which pekwm` -- :1

and from pekwm's menu I started games, soft, etc. That was very comfortable. Games works on :1, desktop shell, browser, IM, etc, works on :0. Switching with Ctrl + Alt + F1/2 :)

But in Mageia 5 I cannot to do same action.
xinit output
Spoiler:
Code: Select all
[xxblx@localhost ~]$ xinit `which pekwm` -- :1

I have not found a solution like "one-click start via script how that was in Mageia 4".
But here is manual way:
Ctrl + Alt + Fn
Code: Select all
startx -- :n

where 'n' is tty's num

For example
Ctrl + Alt + F2
Code: Select all
startx -- :2


If I try to do
Code: Select all
xinit

on new tty, system just freezes :)

Problem still exists, but it's also possible to work with startx.
Partly solved.

Try this:

Install xsudo.
Code: Select all
$ sudo urpmi xsudo


Code: Select all
$ xsudo xinit `which pekwm` -- :1


I used icewm, but that worked for me.
