Using su is fine, but switching user in e.g. KDE switch to another user we got problems. There may be another source of the problem, as we are using a cluster of workstations and users can login on two machines at the same time. I just double checked this. If the user is running a firefox from his home dir he cannot start a second firefox on a second system, as all use an empty file ~/.mozilla/firefox/XXXXXX.default/.parentlock. So firefox is not usable on such a cluster?
Ah, yes, that's true. A Firefox profile can't be shared between running Firefox sessions. That would result in broken profiles and/or very strange behaviour and is prevented by a profile lock. A user could use different profiles though using the profilemanager.

As we have "normal" users: is there a more or less global way, to create different profiles for different machines. As the users do not understnad at all, what is going on (and do not understand, they could mess up a lot). In the profile.ini I do not have anything related to the system I'm on: [General] StartWithLastProfile=1 [Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=XXXXXXXX.default Default=1 -- Joachim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
