Last friday it stopped working again (apparently, same issue), so I decided to fill the issue today. To my surprise, it is working again with no changes made at all 🥴
10:02
It has happened in both servers also.

Hi antares_gades , reading...
10:03
Hmm, very strange, try to ping me when it's not working once more :D
10:04
<antares_gades[m]>
OK. In the while, because I was filling the issue... is there any log/output that I could attach to my issue to make it comprehensible?

<eu^ip-209-124-24>
Hello, I need help with LTSP on Debian 11. I have installed LTSP on Debian 11 and i am using chrootless as it is easier for me, but am having an issue that when i make a change on the server like changing the background, the clients are not taking the change even after i run ltsp initrd. On ubuntu this does not happen. Is there something that i
19:35
need to enable in debian for the changes to take effect on the clients after reboot?
19:35
<alkisg>
Hi eu^ip-209-124-24
19:35
The background change is per user
19:36
When you do that on the server, are you using the same user that you'll use on the client later on?
19:36
<eu^ip-209-124-24>
Hi, yes, i am using the same user.
19:37
<alkisg>
Can you VNC to me from a logged in client?
19:37
x11vnc -connect alkisg.ltsp.org
19:38
The user changes go to /home/username/.config. Then if you logout from the server and login to the client with the same user, it should show up immediately. No reboot, no ltsp initrd needed.
19:40
<eu^ip-209-124-24>
I did the x11vnc
19:41
<alkisg>
I didn't receive a connection, did you do it from a graphics session or from an ssh session?
19:41
<eu^ip-209-124-24>
I am doing it on terminal
19:41
<alkisg>
Are you using wayland?
19:42
<eu^ip-209-124-24>
yes
19:42
<alkisg>
If you type `xrandr`, what does it say?
19:42
OK wayland doesn't work with screen sharing
19:42
Do you happen to have epoptes installed?
19:43
<eu^ip-209-124-24>
yes I have epoptes installed when i was installing the ltsp
19:43
<alkisg>
On the client, run this: /usr/share/epoptes-client/share-terminal 81.186.20.0
19:43
This will share only the terminal with me
19:43
<eu^ip-209-124-24>
Okay
19:44
done
19:46
<alkisg>
eu^ip-209-124-24: the user password, not the admin password
19:48
OK I created A-FILE on the client and it's there on the server, so /home/username is shared properly
19:49
The problem you mention is only for the background?
19:49
Do you properly log out from the server before connecting to the client?
19:49
<eu^ip-209-124-24>
Okay, i see that. Yes. Right now the background was supposed to be something different.
19:50
<alkisg>
Go to the client and select a different background
19:50
<eu^ip-209-124-24>
When i change the terminal preferences as well it didn't show up.
19:50
Okay
19:50
<alkisg>
I want to see which dconf setting it writes the setting
19:51
<eu^ip-209-124-24>
done
19:51
<alkisg>
`/org/gnome/desktop/screensaver/picture-uri 'file:///home/wtp-ows1/.local/share/backgrounds/2022-09-26-13-56-26-desktop-bg-1920x1080.png'`
19:51
<eu^ip-209-124-24>
yes
19:51
<alkisg>
OK now log out from the client, then login as wtp-ows1 on the server, does it have the new background?
19:53
<eu^ip-209-124-24>
Yes it does.
19:54
<alkisg>
So client changes are saved properly
19:54
Now on the server change the background to something else, then logout properly, then login on the client once more
19:54
<eu^ip-209-124-24>
Okay
19:56
It has worked. So was i not logging out properly on the server?
19:57
<alkisg>
Possibly... and dconf was in use...
20:00
<eu^ip-209-124-24>
Okay. Thank you so much. quick question, this is unrelated, but if i write a script and want it to start up on every reboot of the client, how can i do that? is there a setting in ltsp.conf that i can add?
20:00
<alkisg>
Is that a system script or a user script?
20:00
To be run at boot, or after login?
20:01
<eu^ip-209-124-24>
user script, that organizes the monitors connected to the client into a square for a quad monitors and so on..
20:02
to be run at boot
20:02
<alkisg>
ltsp.conf doesn't handle per-user scripts, you can do that from either /etc/xdg/autostart for all users, or from gnome-session-properties for a single user
20:03
Btw https://github.com/ltsp/ltsp/issues is for bugs, while https://github.com/ltsp/ltsp/discussions is for discussions; I moved your discussion there

Btw most desktop environments have a control panel > displays dialog, where you can arrange the monitors, without writing a custom script

alkisg , Hi, Its me again, you helped me earlier today with ltsp client not taking changes like background and so on. So after the solution you helped with by logging out properly, i have found out that if i login manually to the user on the client it works as you said  BUT i have added auto login for the same user in the ltsp.conf so that once i
23:22
boot up the clients they should automatically login with the users i have set. But in this case, the changes are not taking again. Is there something that am doing wrong in the auto login?
