This is because LightDM assigns each seat a different virtual terminal, and switches to that virtual terminal whenever X is restarted.
I have some changes to LightDM in progress to add more complete multiseat support. If you are using Ubuntu, please try installing the version of LightDM in my PPA (<https://launchpad.net/~a7x/+archive/multiseat>): sudo apt-add-repository ppa:a7x/multiseat sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade More complete instructions can be found by visiting the PPA page. ** Branch linked: lp:~a7x/lightdm/multiseat ** Also affects: lightdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: lightdm Assignee: (unassigned) => a7x (a7x) ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => a7x (a7x) ** Branch linked: lp:~a7x/ubuntu/saucy/lightdm/multiseat ** Changed in: lightdm Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1201124 Title: when second seat user log out, first seat switches to virtual terminal Status in Light Display Manager: In Progress Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: On multiseat configuration when second seat user logout, first seat switches to virtual terminal.
