I've asked a similar question before. It seems that maemo-launcher can only have one instance running at a time, so that effectively limits the number of Hildon desktops that can be running to one as well.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi,<br><br>Can somebody let me know how we can launch multiple instances of Maemo simultaneously, with each instance running for a user.<br><br>I have created two users A and B on my Ubuntu machine. The two users also have their <i>users</i> created in Scratchbox. I also have Maemo SDK installed for both the users.<br>
<br>I login as user A, create a Xephyr window with the DISPLAY value set to 2, login to scratchbox and launch maemo with DISPLAY value 2. Maemo is launched in the Xephyr window.<br><br>As Maemo is running in user A, I switch user and then login as user B. Here I create a Xephyr window with DISPLAY value set to 3, login to scratchbox and launch maemo with DISPLAY value 3. Maemo is not launched, nothing is shown in Xephyr window and an error message as follows is shown.<br>

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>How can I make Maemo run for two different users simultaneously ?<br>
<br>Note: I am doing this so that if I succeed, I can later use this Ubuntu machine as a server, so that multiple users can simultaneously login to that server and run Scratchbox/Maemo.<br><br>Thanks,<br><font color="#888888">Joel.<br>
