Hi Benjamin, You've actually got a couple of options here All this assumes your not booting to runlevel 1 of course (ie your getting a login prompt each time you boot) Firstly, at a $ prompt...you can type 'exit' to logout and get another login prompt Secondly, if your still running the same number of consoles as standard, press ALT+F2 to go to the second console and log into that as the other user (ALT+F1 to return). Bear in mind that you've only one X server so you cant startx on the second console while your running x on the first. Oh for the sake of completeness CTRL+ALT+Fx brings up console x while youre in X (Can't go to the console you started x on) ALT+F8 takes you to the x window if your running x and in another console Hope this helps Andrew On Fri, 15 Sep 2000, Benjamin Sher wrote: > Dear Alan: > > Thanks so much for such a prompt response. > > The problem is that when I log out of KDE, I am faced with my $ user > prompt.
