What program starts the per user session dbus-daemon process in GNOME 2 and GNOME 3 (presumably via dbus-launch)? I would like to know because I would like to add a directory to the list of directories that dbus-daemon checks for .service files.
(Obviously if it's a sh program, "sh" isn't the answer I'm looking for ;-)
How could I have answered this question for myself efficiently? What documentation is there on desktop and session startup?
In 11.10 I used 'gdmflexiserver -xnest' to switch users without logging out however I think gdm has now been completely removed.
I'm trying to bind a keyboard shortcut to do the equivalent of 'Me Menu>Switch User Account...'.
How can I invoke a user switch in 12.04?
In htop, I kill Nautilus, and within one second, it's back, with a new PID!
The restarted Nautilus shows in the Processes list, but has no GUI until I manually launch Nautilus... I've heard mention of Nautilus works in lockstep with the desktop... maybe that is the reason(?).
Is there some sort of "watchdog" program keeping an eye on some distro-critical programs? Monitoring Nautilus doesn't seem like a Linux kernel issue, so I just wonder what is happening here?
I want to have more than one user logged on at the same time, on the same computer.
Each user should have a full X session.
It is easy enough to log in to multiple concurrent non-X Linux terminals, but I want the X factor.
Maybe I've missed something, but I only see a Main Menu option to Log out of the current user, and nothing for Switch User.
Is there a simple way to do this?
I would like to run two X server instances at the same time.
One would be an interactive session using the mouse and keyboard attached to the computer. The other would be a 'virtual' session that I could then connect to and use over a network.
In other words, I want something like telnet/ssh that allows me to log in to my Ubuntu machine from somewhere else. However, I would like at least a basic graphics display when I log in.
