I cannot login multiple times using LightDM. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in with your account and KDE Plasma Workspaces session 2. Use "Switch User" from Kickoff and say "Create New Session" 3. Log in with your account and choose e.g. Project Neon Actual Results: Screen turns black and you're greeted by the KDE lock screen of your current session Expected Results: You log in into the other session
Then I'd get this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103046 This bug has over 46 votes, clearly a lot of people think this, and there's a lot of good arguments as to why this behaviour is better. Marking as unconfirmed.
Following through LightDM sources, the relevant code is at lightdm/src/display.c function greeter_start_session_cb line 374: /* Stop this display if that session already exists and can switch to it */ (actual switch happens at line 385) So it's all working as intended. If persuaded I can try and patch upstream to add this as an option in the config file.
