| 06:42 | <quinox> I've just learned that LightDM and GDM3 no longer use ~/.dmrc because of potential encrypted home folders. Make sense, what is the easiest way to let a login manager remember the users' chosen session? Put /var/lib/lightdm-data/ on NFS?

| 21:21 | <muhwalt> it looks like unattended-upgrades is what is installing snap on my LTSP servers
| |
| 21:21 | s/installing/reinstalling
| |
| 21:22 | * alkisg does apt purge unattended-upgrades in his schols | |
| 21:22 | * alkisg * does apt purge unattended-upgrades in his schools | |
| 21:22 | <alkisg> There's a bug where unattended-upgrades doesn't respect apt preferences; I'm not sure if we reported it or not though
| |
| 21:22 | <muhwalt> gotcha, I'm guessing I can avoid this by doing `Pin-Priority: -1` for snapd
| |
| 21:23 | ah ok
| |
| 21:23 | so I guess making the preference file won't make a difference then
| |
| 21:23 | lol
| |
| 21:23 | That's... less than ideal, but at least I understand what's happening now :D
| |
| 21:24 | <alkisg> I don't remember the details, I can't say for sure
| |
| 21:25 | But in any case unattended upgrades are very annoying, teachers try to install a program and they can't because u-u are running in the background etc, and they even completely hang when networking problems arise
| |
| 21:25 | So I have a script for them to apply all updates, and run ltsp image, and optionally poweroff the server when done
| |
| 21:25 | And they just run it every friday when they leave school
| |
| 21:28 | <muhwalt> gotcha, different usecase and security requirements here
| |
| 21:29 | and I handle all the updates :P
| |
| 21:29 | I'll try the pin thing and see if unattended-upgrde respects it
| |
| 21:29 | <alkisg> apt-mark hold could also help
| |
| 21:31 | <muhwalt> doesn't look like that'll work if it's not installed
| |
| 21:33 | <alkisg> OK try some stuff and if you don't find anything that works ping me to properly analyze this
| |
| 21:34 | <muhwalt> No worries, I'll figure it out. Just wanted to toss the info out there :)
| |
| 21:34 | definitely an ubuntu quirk, not a LTSP issue specificall :)
| |
| 21:35 | <alkisg> Sure; actually I haven't even used snapd with ltsp recently, I don't know how many problems are still left, if any...
