| 19:14 | <Biglouadamich[m]> When I make changes in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf or /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf how to I get those changes into the image I'm booting. I'm doing an ltsp image / to create the image.
| |
| 19:16 | <vagrantc> i would think they would just be pulled in ... but there may be some code that touches those files ...
| |
| 19:16 | other option would be to add POST_INIT_SOMETHING rules to ltsp.conf that modifies the files during boot
| |
| 19:16 | * vagrantc hopes to be remembering correctly... | |
| 19:18 | <vagrantc> yeah, POST_APPLET_x in lts.conf: https://ltsp.org/man/ltsp.conf/
| |
| 19:18 | not sure off the top of my head what all the variaous "APPLET" parts are
| |
| 19:19 | applets mentioned in https://ltsp.org/man/ltsp/
| |
| 19:20 | but confusingly ... says "LTSP clients also have some additional applets, like initrd-bottom, init and login, but they're not runnable by the user." ... though i suspect that's because those applets are used at boot, not when running the "ltsp" command
| |
| 19:22 | Biglouadamich[m]: hope that helps
| |
| 19:24 | <alkisg> vagrantc: you got everything correctly :) Indeed, `ltsp initrd-bottom`, `ltsp init` and `ltsp login` are called by "the system" (=hooks), not the user
| |
| 19:24 | Biglouadamich: if you're using chrootless, anything you change in /etc goes to the image, yeah
| |
| 19:25 | If it doesn't, then you're doing something wrong
| |
| 19:35 | * vagrantc beams :) | |
| 19:36 | <vagrantc> alkisg: calling them both applets is a little confusing, although the most common one, POST_INIT_x is documented in the POST_APPLET_x section in the ltsp.conf
| |
| 19:37 | <alkisg> vagrantc: applets are subdirs under ltsp/, there's no reason to separate them based on how they're called
| |
| 19:37 | People can still use POST_INITRD_BOTTOM_X, it doesn't matter that they won't invoke it themselves
| |
| 19:37 | <vagrantc> alkisg: fair, though it was a bit confusing to have the documentation say "go look here" and then
| |
| 19:38 | alkisg: the ltsp man page sort of implies they can't be used
| |
| 19:38 | <alkisg> I wanted it to mean "and that's why I didn't bother writing man pages about them" :D
| |
| 19:39 | I.e. there's `man ltsp image`, but not `man ltsp init`, because you're not supposed to call it
| |
| 19:39 | <vagrantc> i guess maybe, since you've already split those variables out separately in the above quoted paragraph, maybe it's worth spelling out when they would be used?
| |
| 19:39 | not exactly sure what to recommend, as i'm a little fuzzy on how it's all put together :)
| |
| 19:40 | <alkisg> Sure a few more details there could help. I sometimes wonder if it would be better to document all the ltsp.conf options under their "applet man pages" instead of "all of them under ltsp.conf"
| |
| 19:42 | Anyways the next release will be for bullseye+1, so no hurry :)
| |
| 19:43 | <Biglouadamich[m]> I'm rebuilding the image now. I think it may have been a type on my part.
