So you are using depreciated components ;)

Assigning a usb hub to a $DISPLAY is possible with udev as I have explained here. Doing that will also ensure that all devices plugged into the hub are...

So you must be using xephyr if you have a single gpu running multiseat. The downside to that is there is no hardware acceleration or OpenGL support.

The one thing that confuses me is that I know...

This doesn't make sense to me here. pacmd opens a cli to an existing pulseaudio daemon, but you're starting a new daemon after that statement with pulseaudio -D. This would also imply that you have...

So are you going to share your script magic with the OpenSource/FreeSoftware community, or just link to your commercial site? ;)

Well, I've got it all working now and have fully updated the MultiseatX page. Hopefully it will be useful to someone else.

Does your implementation follow the seat, or the user? That is to say, do your users have to login at the same seat every time, or does it not matter who logs on to a seat since the sound is tied...

I have a *mostly* working multiseat setup built on Xubuntu 12.04. It wasn't too difficult to get it sorted out, but the one thing missing is audio per seat. I am still working on that and once it's...

Noobslab featured VDesk - Visual Desktop in a recent post. They show it being used in Ubuntu 11.10. You can get VDesk for free at gnome-look.

The only time i us an icon is for mounts... like when a usb is plugged in or a network share.
I wrote a frontend for xwinwrap called VDesk - Visual Desktop. You can get it for free at gnome-look. It...

Check out VDesk - Visual Desktop

I wrote a frontend for xwinwrap called VDesk - Visual Desktop. Noobslab featured it in this post. They put up a nice video showing VDesk in use on Ubuntu 11.10. You can get VDesk for free at...

Great! Glad it works in Unity. After I made that comment, I found a post on noobslab about VDesk on 11.10

I have tried several combinations for starting VDesk, Conky and Screenlets... all variants result in the same situation... Conky time and net monitors will randomly be misaligned. What is this "race...

Enjoy your holiday :)

If you are using compiz (you probably are since you are using transparency)
Open ccsm > General Options > uncheck Hide Skip Taskbar Windows
Done

And you should be using own_window_type normal

Yes i am using a bash script to start my conkys. I listed everything in my first post. No other conky instances are running.

I am on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit (2.6.32-37 kernel) using the package conky-all 1.8.0-1ubuntu1 from the ubuntu universe repos. I use the nVidia binary driver 290.10 (manual install) on an overclocked...

I wrote a frontend for xwinwrap, but haven't tested it in 11.10 yet. Maybe you could test it for me? It's called VDesk - Visual Desktop and you can find it at gnome-look.

Setting own_window_type conky will default to own_window_type normal

Check http://conky.sourceforge.net/config_settings.html to see all available own_window_type options.

Side note:...

When i say misplaced, i mean that sometimes they show up in the expected location (as set by alignment tr gap_x 50 gap_y 50), and some times they show up in the top left, or top middle locations. It...

So here are my conky files. I use a separate conky for each monitor so i can place them where i want... although that is proving difficult :/

conky-start.sh

#!/bin/bash
killall conky ;
sleep...

you have 2 instances of own_window. Comment out the one that says own_window False
also, you have own_window_type override which ignores all window hints such as below.
change own_window_type...

I wrote a pretty lengthy bash script (500+ lines) as a frontend for xwinwrap. You can set a screensaver or video as your desktop background. It gives you the ability to set transparency and and...
