| eightfold | i can't seem to change from the default blue color of the theme though | 11:45 |
| greenmanspirit | Hello! Where would you all recommend I look for instructions on how to customize a users default profile? I want to use this OS in our computer labs but I want a school image as the default wallpaper. Thanks! | 14:01 |
| 21WAABK0I | hi | 14:10 |
| ouroumov | greenmanspirit, hi | 14:12 |
| ouroumov | greenmanspirit, that's a good question, maybe you can ask on the forums? https://ubuntu-mate.community/ | 14:12 |
| greenmanspirit | thanks for the info | 14:15 |
| alkisg | greenmanspirit: google for default and mandatory gsettings | 14:17 |
| alkisg | Then run this: dconf watch / | 14:18 |
| alkisg | Then change the wallpaper and see which gsetting key it is using | 14:18 |
| alkisg | Finally, create either a default or a mandatory setting for that, whatever you prefer | 14:18 |
| alkisg | Don't use default profiles; using default/mandatory gsettings instead | 14:18 |
| greenmanspirit | ok, thank yoiu alkisg | 14:30 |

| hp | Hi I want to ask how to set the click of the touchpad | 15:13 |
| Akuli | hp, system -> settings -> mouse | 15:58 |
| tiox | Why must lightdm be so hard? | 17:19 |
| tiox | ouroumov_ any way I could do per-user actions after signin and signoff? | 17:21 |
| ouroumov_ | hey tiox | 17:21 |
| tiox | Hey there,' | 17:22 |
| ouroumov_ | tiox, I'd say use custom scripts in startup applications, but I'm not sure | 17:22 |
| ouroumov_ | might be a good question for the forum | 17:22 |
| tiox | That's what I am doing for an instance of xfdesktop right now but I _really_ want to have lightdm handle it just for me. | 17:22 |
| tiox | Because the ay I have it now uses a shutdown script to handle post-session actions with that desktop. | 17:23 |
| tiox | When it really needs to be a logoff script. | 17:23 |
| tiox | Ahh. I think I found something else. UM uses systemd right? | 17:26 |
| ouroumov_ | tiox, all Ubuntu 16.04 use systemd | 17:27 |
| Akuli | is the poweroff command not in 16.04 anymore? | 17:32 |
| alkisg | tiox: the best way to do that is with pam scripts, not with dm scripts | 17:51 |
| alkisg | That way the scripts get to run whatever DM or DE you have... and even if you login with ssh or shell | 17:52 |
| alkisg | Note though that logoff scripts are *not* guaranteed to run; e.g. xorg might have crashed or the pc rebooted, so the cleanup actions usually also go both in logoff and in logon scripts | 17:52 |
| tiox | alkisg: More details please? | 17:57 |
| tiox | I would love t know about these pam scripts. | 17:57 |
| tiox | And how nonstick they are. (Insert rimshot here.) | 17:57 |
| tiox | That detail about running with shell, though; I am not terribly keen on that, I am just looking to make a login and logout script for a single user. | 18:00 |
| tiox | Because of some actions that need to be done with xfdesktop to remember icon positions. | 18:01 |
| alkisg | tiox: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/136548/force-command-to-be-run-on-logout-or-disconnect | 18:24 |
| Fozzy | Hello. I started using Ubuntu Mate at 15.10 and updated to 16.04 (took me a while). Occasionally I have noticed some glitches with layering where the visible window is not the one that is actually on top. It confused me a bit at first, and have gotten used to it, but I was wondering if this is an issue that other people have had and if there are any solutions. Thanks! | 19:31 |
| alkisg | Fozzy: which window manager are you using, marco with compositing, without it, or compiz or compton? | 19:32 |
| alkisg | I haven't seen that issue, and I'm using marco without compositing | 19:32 |
| tiox | alkisg: Good advice and all, reading through it there _should_ be a pam definition for logging out (sshd) but it does not exist. How could I discover which pam.d file i used while logging out of a session? | 19:32 |
| alkisg | tiox: did you read the answer? It mentions how to do an "if" to decide if it's login or logout | 19:33 |
| Fozzy | alkisg: It looks like I have marco (software compositor) selected | 19:33 |
| alkisg | tiox: if [ "$PAM_TYPE" = "close_session" ]; then | 19:33 |
| alkisg | Fozzy: just as a test, you might want to try it without compositing and see if it also happens there | 19:34 |
| tiox | Ah, | 19:34 |
| Fozzy | alkisg: I will try that and see how it goes. Thank you! | 19:34 |
| tiox | So a single file can be used for login and logout. | 19:34 |
| alkisg | Fozzy: in general, bug reports for marco go to launchpad, someone might already have filed one | 19:35 |
| alkisg | tiox: yup | 19:35 |
| tiox | I suppose the opposide of close_session would be open_session then? | 19:35 |
| tiox | opposite* | 19:35 |
| tiox | Or is close_session some placeholder I am suppose to fit into my setup? | 19:35 |
| alkisg | tiox: manpages.ubuntu.com/pam_exec | 19:35 |
| tiox | Thank you. | 19:35 |
| alkisg | You're welcome | 19:35 |
| alkisg | "PAM_TYPE, which contains one of the module types: account, auth, password, open_session and close_session." | 19:36 |
| tiox | I see that. Thanks a bunch. | 19:37 |
| alkisg | np | 19:37 |
| tiox | I suppose this would affect all users, yeah? | 19:37 |
| alkisg | Yup, and you can also check for the username if you want specific users | 19:37 |
| tiox | So if I wanted a per-user setup I would need to tell the script to execute script in ~ just to make it easier. | 19:38 |
| alkisg | It depends on if you want the users to be able to modify those scripts or not | 19:38 |
| alkisg | E.g. imagine running *their* script as root... :) | 19:38 |
| tiox | Yeah. That's probably not a terribly good idea. | 19:39 |
| tiox | I was thinking, now that you showed me that, trying to fit this into the pam script; https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1918649&p=12591743#post12591743 | 19:40 |
| tiox | Albeit slightly modified, and I did want it to be user-modifiable. | 19:40 |
| alkisg | pam is better than lightdm hooks | 19:41 |
| alkisg | But of course whatever works for you... | 19:42 |
| tiox | Not the lightdm hook I am looking at. | 19:42 |
| tiox | I was looking at what that post is trying to execute. | 19:42 |
| alkisg | You can also use xsession scripts if you prefer | 19:42 |
| tiox | Which would be easier to explain? | 19:42 |
| alkisg | IMHO it's best to select the pam method, even if it takes you a bit longer to implement it as you want it | 19:43 |
| tiox | Fair enough. | 19:43 |
| tiox | So what I intend to do now, thanks to you is attemptt o use a pam script to run two execution scripts; one for open_session and one for close_session, somewhere in ~ | 19:43 |
| tiox | The idea of that post is to run a script in ~, which I am sure I could figure out how to do. I am still looking to make this a per-user thing so different users can hav different settings. | 19:44 |
| tiox | have* | 19:44 |
