I'm running ubuntu 8.04 on a dual-screen system. I want to run two SL clients with different log-ons at the same time, but when I try to run the second one, I just get a message saying it's already running. Is what I'm trying to do possible ? and, if so, how ?
TIA

1. Find a shortcut to Second Life; the Second Life Viewer installer places a shortcut on your desktop by default. If you need to find the executable (SecondLife.exe) so you can make a new shortcut, Second Life is usually located in this directory: C:\Program Files\SecondLife 2. Right-click the shortcut and choose Properties. 3. Click the Shortcut tab. 4. In the Target field, next to the path to the directory containing Second Life, insert a space and "-multiple". Like this: "C:\Program Files\SecondLife" -multiple Do not delete the quotation marks. 5. Click OK. 6. To test your results, try double-clicking the Second Life shortcut. After the Second Life Viewer opens, double-click the shortcut again. In your Windows Taskbar, you should see two instances of Second Life; you're running two viewers at once! . _____________________

Sorry, Ubuntu! I posted the Windows answer.
Basically you need to add the "-multiple" option to the command. http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Client_parameters . _____________________

Thanks Seven, that did the trick.
Note that I also had to use the '--port' parameter, setting the two login ports to 13000 and 13001 - once I'd done that it all worked as it should. |

Simply adding --multiple as its own line in the gridargs.dat file in your Second Life directory would work as well.
