    Try as follows: go to your first free tty, say 1, by means of Ctrl+Alt+F1, login, then issue the command

     startx -- :1 vt9

    The new X session will open in F9. And so on.

    how to copy text from xterm based terminal to some other gui application on linux
  • Idlecool

    i use uxrvt ( for those who dont know, its terminal emulator based on xterm).

    i know its easy to copy/paste stuff from terminal to itself is a trivial thing. it can be done by mouse left click to select and middle click to paste.

    but in my case i need to copy text from terminal to another application, viz on google chromium. how can i do that. is it even possible? anyone?

    Same way. Focus and then middle-click the control you want to paste into.
