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.
