Xscreensaver and new login button (LXDE Fedora spin)

Post by jukka »

What I have done wrong?

1. I lock screen with user1
2. I want to log in with user2
3. I just hit the space and try to click new login button in xscreensaver "dialogbox" but nothing happens.
4. Then I put user1 password once. I see user1 desktop for a while and then screensaver is activated again
5. I repeat step 3. And this time new login button works and I can change user.

This is not what I want. I do not want give user1 password to everyone. (it happens to be me and I am admin for this laptop)

Why I have to put first password of user who has locked laptop before I can switch user???? Same scenario happens with user2 if I want to change back to user1.

SW is 3.15.10-201.fc20.i686

Welcome to the LXDE forum.
Why not just log out as user 1 and have user 2 log in? By locking the screen as user 1, only you can unlock it with unfortunately your password which is the admin password as well.

Yes, of course I can do that but I do not want to. I want that if I lock that laptop other family members can use their account. Just like in Lubuntu "Switch user" does.

i can see your point, but since only user1 can unlock user1, i think what you want would require multiple X-sessions running.
if i remember correctly, that is possible but not standard.

Yes. I have Lubuntu 14.04 in that laptop now. Easiest solution. I think. :)

if lubuntu offers the functionality you are looking for, you might have wanted to see what provides it and install the package(s) on fedora lxde.
most software is not restricted to a particular linux distro.
