Uhm, I come with bad news. I've played a bit with it and it does not work, whereas it worked with the past schroot by changing the used fstab. The symptom is that I got an empty /var/run/gdm3/ and I haven't yet understood why. The /var/run fstab entry is there, the gdm3 directory in it is there, but it's empty for some reason. Also the other stuff which is in /var/run is not quite the same that I've in the real machine. It seems that either some bogus dir is mounted in place of /var/run or that it gets overwritten (i.e. overmounted) later on by some other setup/exec script. I've tried with both simply changing the default mount symlink to the desktop profile and later on by switching all the default symlinks to their desktop equivalent. Unfortunately I don't have time right now to debug it any further, but I presume it's easy to reproduce. If not, I'll be more relax to have a look at this next week, not earlier I fear. In the meantime I believe this bug should be reopened, but I leave that up to you. Another suggestion: please mention the addition of profile support in README or README.Debian and maybe even in NEWS.Debian. IMHO it is quite important and it took me a while before finding out that it was documented in the schroot.conf(5) manpage. Many thanks for your work, it's a pleasure to work with such a reactive maintainer :-) Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli -o- PhD in Computer Science \ PostDoc @ Univ.
