alkisg: I don't understand LTSP's handling of groups in images. I've failed to find a nice, working solution to create a group with a specific GID in my LTSP VM that will persist into thefinal image after running `ltsp image`. I want to avoid editing the LTSP scripts ideally, I see that as a last resort.

<alkisg>
PWMERGE_DGR is the variable that defines which destination groups will be kept while merging
15:06
<danboid>
alkisg: I'll try it again but I've tried PWMERGE_DGR at least twice with no luck but maybe I used the wrong value? I think the man page said there was a prefix to usewhen specifying group names but I'veforgot it
15:07
<alkisg>
No, it's just a regex
15:09
<danboid>
So if its its only onegroup I want to keep then it should be PWMERGE_DGR=mygroup?
15:09
ie just a literal string, right?
15:10
<alkisg>
# echo "this is a name" | sed "s/is/CAREFUL/g"
15:10
thCAREFUL CAREFUL a name
15:11
As long as that word is not PART of another group name, sure
15:13
<danboid>
I'm going to try it again then
15:13
Also, I was seartching for a solution and cameacross one of your bug reports
15:14
The problem is that users can't login to MATE on machines using the NV driver because of compositing
15:14
I'vetried editing /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.mate.marco.gschema.xml
15:15
The running
15:15
glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
15:16
but that hasn't fixed it,even for new users
15:16
I changed compositing to falsein that file sorry
15:17
If theuser logins in on an Intel GPU machine then disables compositing, that fixes it
15:18
I see you tried without success to talk theUbuntu devs into not enabling it by default, I fully agree its a bad default
15:38
I suspect I'd need to replace one of the MATE packages, the one with the settingsfor Marco in it, to fix this

<alkisg>
I applied a patch and recompiled marco to bypass that. It's in the Greek schools PPA
16:37
<danboid>
Oh great, I'll try that. I'd like to think they've fixed that in 22.04 but I doubt it
16:37
Have you checked?
