Is it possible to get multi-seat support so several people can use the same desktop at the same time? For collaboration I'd prefer different pointers on the same desktop session.

View 9 Replies View RelatedAll of the documentation I've found on setting up a Multiseat configuration in Debian with GNOME is old. How do I set up Multiseat in Debian Unstable with GNOME 3 and GDM 3? Also, I do not have a video card. I have an integrated Intel GPU that supports two monitors. The multi-monitor set up works, but I want to set up Multiseat.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI know this is usually with the intent of multiseat systems. I am not interested in setting up a multiseat system. What I am interested in configuring on using the console and jumping back to X session, not the other way around. Is this possible if your default desktop environment GNOME and configure GDM to do this with the novtswitch parameter mentioned here? [URL]..
I tried even playing around with Xorg, finding out from the man page Xorg server-1.4.2 it does not even have novtswitch functionality compiled X does, but I am not sure I am configured it properly, specifically because I am not doing multiseat. Does anyone have background on this to give me some guidance? I have attached the relevant conf files and logs. Let me know if more is needed. In my test environment, it switches VT anyway and the keyboard does not work. I assume my Xorg binary is not compat for this, but am I even on the right track? I did not expect the kb to go out like it did.

I am trying to make multiseat work on my system. (By which I mean I have two keyboards, mice, and monitors, that will act like two separate workstations.Hardware-wise I have a GeForce 210, which has multiple monitor outputs. Keyboards are one PS/2, one USB, mice are both USB. My distro is Kubuntu 10.04.I have dual screens with a single user working fine, but nothing I've tried for multiseat has worked.https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX - first seat works fine, nothing on second seat
Xephyr, as discussed here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=620003 - I can't make KDE start in the Xephyr window, it gives dbus errors, and in any case I'm not sure how to get the keyboards and mice set correctly
[code]...
I have a multiseat installation consisting of a single graphics card controlling two screens, with one Xephyr instance on each. Each one has its corresponding mouse and keyboard assigned via appropriate command line switches--evdev is used as the input device driver.
Since a recent "zypper update" (about two weeks ago), this configuration has been having problems: as long as the keyboard and mouse are not being used, it runs fine (e.g., over the weekend when it just sits on the KDM login screen), but when it is being actively used, the Xephyr process will eventually end up in a hard lock-up requiring a kill -9. A lock-up of one Xephyr screen does not seem to affect the other, although both will end up frozen eventually--sometimes this takes only a couple of minutes after the user starts his activity, and sometimes it may work for half an hour or so before it gives up the ghost.
There are no relevant log entries anywhere I could find, and neither is anything reported on Xephyr's stderr/stdout. I have tried downgrading to an older version of Xephyr, as well as compiling xorg-x11-server-extra locally from source, with no success. Only thing I can think of is downgrading to the previous kernel. Unlike my Debian machines though, OpenSUSE does not seem to keep the last few previous kernels for you to boot into in case of problems, and I can't see how to downgrade kernel via Yast2.
Is it possible to set up a opensuse 11.4 multiseat system with four screens , keyboards and mouse.There is no xorg.conf anymore.
View 7 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know what happened to the Multiseat feature that had been in the feature list at one point?To briefly summarise, a single machine with multiple graphics cards, sound cards, keyboards & mice provides multiple seats for users. Each user gets their own monitor, keyboard, mouse & perhaps audio. The rest of the machine resources are then shared.
The last I saw on the topic was this discussion, although I have a recollection that there was going to be support in a newer version of X.Org. I've googled around quite a bit, but can't seem to find anything.
Anybody know anything? It would be a great feature to have and it's frustrating to have had such an omission since F8 :-o
I have a HP laptop which can support 1600x900. But after I install ubuntu 9.10 on it, it can only support up to 1280x700. My laptop has a Nvidia graphics card. And i am using GNOME as my desktop environment.
View 1 Replies View RelatedCurrently, I am setting up multi seat system with Fedora 14 but after hours of searching, i'm still running into some issues. I have managed to edit and get the xorg.conf file working although im still having problems.
I want to set up the multi seat so that 1 server with 2 graphics hards connects to two monitors and have their own sessions. I have got the xsessions working although you can move the mouse across 1 screen to the other. Is there any resources as to step by step for setting up multiseat of fedora 14? Are there any main issues regarding custom.conf?
I'm trying to find out when QME2572 (Qlogic) card became support by the kernel. We have a RHEL 5.1 system that is moving to new hardware, however the kernel at this release doesn't support the new hardware, due to the Qlogic card change. I tired the Redhat KB and Bugzilla. Is there a Kernel change list etc I can search. Never really played around with the kernel too much so I'm just after some pointers for looking up this information. Offically its not supported until Redhat 5.3, I'm trying trying to research kernel info so I can tell the customer they have to upgrade.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking to dual-boot Windows 7 and Debian 6 upon its release on my sister's laptop. I want to share a partition between the two of them so that /home points to this directory and the Windows equivalent also points to it (C:Users).
Anyway, I've heard good and bad things about the NTFSMount driver (I think it's NTFS-3G now) and the NTFSprogs project and so I am not so certain what I should believe. I do know that NTFS has relatively high overhead, though I do not recall the source of this assertion, so I am considering the use of EXFAT. An open source EXFAT project is hosted on Google Code at [url] and it utilizes the kernel module FUSE.
I'm quite certain that I've got everything covered on the Windows side -- that is, I know that both NTFS and EXFAT will be suitable filesystems for my required usage.
My issue is that I'm curious which will have superior performance and stability in Debian. I planned on building the package from source and mounting the device in my FSTAB but I have also found a PPA for Ubuntu on Launchpad at [url] that I could borrow the debian/rules from and make a .deb package from.
What do you guys think? Should I go at it with the EXFAT or NTFS partitioning? Is NTFS-3G actually fairly supported at this point? Or perhaps should I consider some alternate method?
I have also considered that the only files she will be sharing are those of music, videos, and pictures so it could be better to just link /home/xxxx/Pictures (Music and Videos, too) to the new partition instead of all of /home.
I would like to know if it is possibile to have support for wi-fi midi support in linux.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI noticed lately the main chat client inserted in the new versions of Ubuntu is Empathy, rather nice, and I saw some very nice integrations in gnome-shell. Only one problem with it, no Off-The-Record (OTR) support, and no interest in implementing it. I am not sure how many of you out there are using it (OTR), but I basically love it, and I feel more safe when I use it. I like Empathy very much, but I do not understand the lack of interested of the developers for implementing such a great feature.
I have made this article, because I just want to do my part, as others did in filing bug reports, and making complaints to introduce this great feature to Empathy. If you want this feature in Empathy there are some places where you can make your voice heard: [URL]...
I know it says there they started to work on it in 2009, but after that no sign of development, basically for me it was just something to calm people down, and make them stop asking for this feature.I did not like the forced removal of pidgin, and the "you can use it, but we are not support it" excuse, but I learned to live with it, and adapt. I admit I am unable to code an otr plugin for Empathy or I would,

View 9 Replies View RelatedI know a lot of discussion has been made about this issue, but I cannot seem to find an answer that works. I have used VirtualBox for a few years and just adding the user to group vboxusers used to work.Before that I had to add the user to usbusers or something like that. Now niether completely work.I say completely, because the only usb device available for use is my printer nothing else. Here is what I have done: added 'user' to the group vboxusers (gave me usb printer access but nothing else)
-attempted an old fix involving mounting /proc/dev/usb/ (or something like that) and get an error that that file does not exist ran virtualbox with sudo with full functionality (just to see)
