I'm trying to create a desktop shortcut (presumably to an executable script?) that will log into another specific user account on my system.

I want to log in to this other user's desktop GUI, not open a terminal prompt as them.

  • Does "Switch User" not do what you want? – Dason Apr 27 '14 at 23:03
  • I've created a shared user account just for steam big picture. I want a shortcut to Steam that won't prompt users to configure / log into steam within their user session. – Lucas Cantor Apr 28 '14 at 15:18
  • The best response I've gotten on [Reddit](http://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/244qvm/can_i_create_a_desktop_shortcut_to_log_in_as/ch3zoeb) is to use `dm-tool switch-to-user USERNAME` – Lucas Cantor Apr 28 '14 at 15:22

Looks like I can follow these instructions using the code in my previous comment: dm-tool switch-to-user USERNAME
