Request: mx-switchuser improvement
It would be interesting, when using the mx-switchuser tool to have for information the list of the actual users, and the related tty# (ex: Ctrl+Alt+F#)
Code: Select all
$ who
user5 tty7 2018-11-03 11:02 (:0)
user1 tty8 2018-11-03 11:47 (:1)
user3 tty9 2018-11-03 13:27 (:2)
...
Ctrl+Alt+F7 for user5, Ctrl+Alt+F8 for user1, etc

Nice idea! And adding a click-to-change button to this to select from provided list of active VT-consoles
would make mouse-click-user easier to change to an active vt-console.
You could make it with providing password less command like
Code: Select all
sudo chvt 1
...
sudo chvt 7
sudo chvt 8
...

Good idea too (a click-to-change button), will be better and faster .
PS: Right now, I have a workaround, just by adding: "$(who)" into the below script:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
# /usr/local/bin/mx-switchuser
TEXTDOMAINDIR=/usr/share/locale
TEXTDOMAIN=mx-switchuser
if [ ! -e ~/.switchuser ] ; then
CHECKBOX=$(yad --form --title=$"User Switching" --text=$"This tool allows you to switch to a different user without closing down your current session.
To return to the original user, simply press Ctrl-Alt-F7. Go back again with Ctrl-Alt-F8.
$(who)
Do you want to switch to another user?" --field=$"Do not show this screen again":chk)
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
if [ $CHECKBOX == "TRUE|" ] ; then
# screen always shown : touch ~/.switchuser_always_show_screen
# touch ~/.switchuser
touch ~/.switchuser_always_show_screen
fi
else
exit 1
fi
fi
dm-tool switch-to-greeter
exit 0
... Or an other way:
Code: Select all
#! /bin/bash
# /usr/local/bin/mx-switchuser
# https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=46815&p=465281#p465281
TEXTDOMAINDIR=/usr/share/locale
TEXTDOMAIN=mx-switchuser
action=$(yad --width 700 --entry --title "System Logout" \
--image=gnome-shutdown \
--button="ScreenLock:5" \
--button="ScrL+Suspend:4" \
--button="$(who):3" \
--button="Switch User:2" \
--button="gtk-ok:0" --button="gtk-close:1" \
--text "Choose action: Switch to a different user without closing down your current session.Ctrl-Alt-F7/F8/F9" \
--entry-text \
"Ctrl-Alt-F7" "Ctrl-Alt-F8" "Ctrl-Alt-F9" "Ctrl-Alt-F10" "Ctrl-Alt-F11" "Ctrl-Alt-F12" "Logout..." )
