I am wandering why my user session logout when execute xinit (startx) in other vt.

Greetings.

I could be wrong, but you can only have a single X output running at a time, unless you specifically have multiple displays setup, and you call X for the specific display. Otherwise, the call to start an X session (with defaults) will wipe the existing one.

Go well.

which exact commands did you use, what did they return, and what do the Xorg logs for both sessions say?

if i disable lightdm.service i can execute startx whateverwm-session -- :n+1 (n=0) with the same user or another on every vt available.

With lightdm.service enable and started, i can use dm-tool (dm-tool switch-to-greeter) to start other 'instance' of lightdm login on other vtn.

If i execute startx -- :n+1 on other vt (same user or not) with lightdm started, the session opened using lightdm are closed.

I think the way how lightdm works with systemd-logind service is the key, but i still not figure out.

by the way, i still look like a f*king panda (:
