| 01:56 | <Ginks> Anyway to get the new LTSP to autologin?
| |
| 01:56 | Seems to fill in the Login/Password because all we have to do is click "Login". But we have to actually click "Login". The old version just bypassed all that.

| 03:56 | <alkisg> Ginks: which dm? lightdm?
| |
| 05:51 | Login to the client, open a terminal, and paste the output of this command: grep -r . /etc/*dm* | nc termbin.com 9999
| |
| 05:51 | This will tell us the resulting lightdm configuration

| 14:38 | <alkisg> Ginks, which Ubuntu version is this, 16.04?
| |
| 14:40 | Ginks: do two tests: (1) `sudo systemctl restart lightdm` on the client, does it autologin? You can run it via epoptes
| |
| 14:40 | If it doesn't, remove this line: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf:autologin-user-timeout=2
| |
| 14:40 | And try `sudo systemctl restart lightdm` again

| 16:00 | <Ginks> alkisg, 20.04
| |
| 16:04 | * alkisg doesn't have /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf in 20.04 | |
| 16:04 | <Ginks> alkisg, 'sudo systemctl restart lightdm' on the client works. It goes right back to their desktop
| |
| 16:05 | <alkisg> OK just a problem with relogin timeout then, it's a known bug of lightdm
| |
| 16:05 | <Ginks> Sorry
| |
| 16:05 | It's Mate
| |
| 16:05 | It's Ubuntu Mate 18 upgraded to 20
| |
| 16:05 | <alkisg> Yes, mate here too, it replaced gtk-greeter with slick-greeter in 18.04
| |
| 16:05 | So yours is probably updated from 16.04
| |
| 16:05 | <Ginks> Yeah, it might be actually
| |
| 16:06 | Last version I remember was 18
| |
| 16:06 | But it's been installed for years
| |
| 16:06 | Slick greeter work better?
| |
| 16:06 | I could care less what greeter there is since really I would prefer them to not have to interact with it anyways
| |
| 16:07 | <alkisg> An "lightdm-autologin-greeter" exists,which would work best, it should be very easy to setup, but noone has spent time to document it,
| |
| 16:07 | slick might work a bit better than gtk-greeter, but only marginally,
| |
| 16:07 | now try this (moment):
| |
| 16:08 | RELOGIN_TIMEOUT=0
| |
| 16:08 | In ltsp.conf, then ltsp initrd, then reboot client
| |
| 16:10 | <Ginks> can RELOGIN_TIMEOUT=0 be placed under [server] or should it go under the mac of the client?
| |
| 16:11 | Or even under [clients] ?
| |
| 16:14 | BOOM!
| |
| 16:14 | That worked
| |
| 16:14 | Thanks alkisg
| |
| 16:15 | <alkisg> np
| |
| 16:15 | Under [clients]
| |
| 16:21 | <Ginks> Perfect, just put it under [clients] and mass rebooted and they all came up and logged in on their own.
| |
| 16:21 | <alkisg> !learn relogin as If AUTOLOGIN doesn't work for you, try RELOGIN_TIMEOUT=0 under [clients] in ltsp.conf
| |
| 16:21 | <ltspbot> The operation succeeded.
| |
| 16:22 | <alkisg> Ginks: if you logout now, does it relogin?
| |
| 16:22 | * alkisg guesses no... | |
| 16:23 | <alkisg> In that case, also try RELOGIN_TIMEOUT=5, this autologs in after 5 secs, but it should also work after logout. It's a lightdm bug, but noone cared enough to get it fixed...
| |
| 16:27 | <Ginks> Yeah, you're right.
| |
| 16:27 | I'll try that
