| danieru98 | Hello | 18:54 |
| danieru98 | Where could the default configuration for new users be stored on lubuntu? | 18:55 |
| wxl | what are you trying to change/do? | 18:55 |
| danieru98 | openbox configuration and themes | 18:56 |
| wxl | ah /etc/xdg | 18:56 |
| danieru98 | for openbox i tried editing the system wide rc.xml file but the new user still got the old default openbox configuration | 18:57 |
| wxl | that doesn't make any sense. what version you on? | 18:58 |
| danieru98 | lubuntu 18.04 | 18:58 |
| lubot | <lynorian> I think you have one in your home folder copied over | 18:58 |
| wxl | yeah lyn but i think this is a brand new user, created after the systemwide change | 18:59 |
| wxl | that doesn't make sense | 18:59 |
| danieru98 | let me try again | 18:59 |
| lubot | <lynorian> also have you run -openbox --reconfigure or logged back in or out again is one things you need to do with openbox | 18:59 |
| lubot | <lynorian> openbox --reconfigure | 19:00 |
| danieru98 | i didn't knew that, ill try again | 19:00 |
| wxl | that's if openbox is currently running of course | 19:01 |
| danieru98 | oh, then that shouldn't had made anything on my first try | 19:01 |
| danieru98 | my first try was directly changing the filesystem.squashfs on the iso by the way | 19:02 |
| danieru98 | need to install lubuntu on 6 computers so having a custom lubuntu iso would be easier on the long run | 19:03 |
| wxl | yeah it should be /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml | 19:04 |
| wxl | there's nothing in /etc/skel which would be the other weird thing | 19:04 |
| wxl | if you look at the value of $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, you'll find it to be $HOME/.config and $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is /etc/xdg/lubuntu:/etc/xdg/xdg-Lubuntu:/etc/xdg, i.e. when a new user is created, it pulls from those directories, and dumps them into the former | 19:06 |
| wxl | https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html | 19:06 |
| danieru98 | you're right, then /etc/xdg/xdg-Lubuntu/openbox/lxqt-rc.xml is the correct file? | 19:16 |
| wxl | no | 19:17 |
| wxl | those directories are searched in order | 19:17 |
| wxl | actually no nevermind that XD | 19:17 |
| wxl | ~/.config should include both lxqt-rc.xml and rc.xml but the former is only used for lxqt sessions | 19:18 |
| danieru98 | editing /etc/xdg/xdg-Lubuntu/openbox/lxqt-rc.xml did nothing as you probably expected | 19:22 |
| wxl | right. the lxqt session specifically calls it out | 19:22 |
| wxl | it's a non-standard filename, so it's not going to pick up on it if you just run openbox without specifying the location | 19:22 |
| danieru98 | but i notice the local config file is called lubuntu-rc.xml, maybe if i search that name on /etc ill find the correct one | 19:23 |
| danieru98 | unless the file is being renamed when copied | 19:23 |
| wxl | i'd find that odd | 19:24 |
| wxl | there's no other *rc.xml files in /etc/xdg | 19:24 |
| danieru98 | the only lubuntu-rc.xml files are in the .config of the users | 19:30 |
| danieru98 | just to be sure, lubuntu doesn't use dconf, right? | 19:31 |
| wxl | looks like it based on $HOME/.config/dconf | 19:34 |
| danieru98 | i couldn't find anything related to openbox config inside that dconf db | 19:43 |
| danieru98 | but editing /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml and /etc/xdg/xdg-Lubuntu/openbox/lxqt-rc.xml and restarting don't have any effect on the openbox config for new users after the restart | 19:46 |
| wxl | oh i wouldn't expect that | 19:46 |
| wxl | if a user is already created, then they have a local config | 19:46 |
| wxl | that local config will take precedence over the global one | 19:46 |
| wxl | but if you create a new user now, then it SHOULD use the global one | 19:47 |
| danieru98 | I'm sorry I made the wrong question because of my own ignorance. What I should have asked was how to customize lubuntu session. I can probably find out myself now that I know where to look at. | 22:24 |
| danieru98 | /usr/share/lubuntu/openbox/rc.xml but i guess the correct procedure will be to create a new session | 22:43 |
