I have set up x2go on an Ubuntu 14.04 machine, and it connects and creates a new session fine. However, when I have the first session running an application like Firefox or Thunderbird, then have a 2nd user log in, the 2nd user cannot run Firefox. He gets a message "Firefox is already running".
I thought I can connect with multiple users to the same host? It would not be useful if I can only have one connection. Or do I need a session broker for that?
Regards Peter
If the second user is using a different user ID you should be fine, theywill have a different home directory, a different mozilla/firefox/(profile) subdirectory, and a different .parentlock lock file. You can not have two users with the same UID/home directory run copies of Firefox simultaneously.
