[opensuse-factory] Should Remote Administration VNC session be local or remote?
Discussion about setting up remote administration using YaST on firums draw my attention. There are rough edges, but when at the end user is able to log in, depending on display manager logind session is ether Remote=yes (xdm) or Remote=no (lightdm). The problem is, logind apparently does not allow multiple local graphical sessions for the same user, in particular concurrent login using lightdm on local console and over Xvnc connection. So what is the right choice here? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I don't know about that, but I know that there are problems if you manage to start with the same user two desktops. Specially if both are KDE or both are Gnome, but I think that also happens if they are different, because both sessions try to use the same configuration files, and the same state files. I mean, both write to those files. For this to work, there should be a clear definition of what files are affected, and make a copy of those for the second session, and work on those. Also applications should allow two concurrent sessions. Think, for instance, Thunderbird. Suppose both sessions try configuration changes. Which one holds? I see the scenario as terribly complex. Just saying :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
