Hello,
I want to use openvt from the kbd project to open a new virtual terminal
and start a wayland session there. But after entering 'openvt -s -w --
dbus-run-session startplasmacompositor' on tty1, the KDE Wayland session
did not start on a new virtual terminal, but on tty1. So, I tried to
start a shell session first with 'openvt -s -w -- /bin/bash' and then,
on the new virtual terminal, start the Wayland session with
'dbus-run-session startplasmacompositor'. Though the first of these
commands successfully opened a shell session on a new virtual terminal,
the second command caused a switch back to tty1 and again, the KDE
session opened there, and the new VT was only used for textual
stdout/stderr.
So, my question is how to give all control for the new process to the
new virtual terminal and let the process started on the new VT
completely forget about the virtual terminal on which its parent process
was started.
Regards
Christoph
