[Bug 505140] Re: No more autologin in live CD
Colin, I'll rather propose that (simplifying the code): # Prevent from updating if parameters already present (persistent usb key) if ! `grep -qs 'AutomaticLoginEnable' $GDMCustomFile` ; then if ! `grep -qs '\[daemon\]' $GDMCustomFile` ; then printf '[daemon]' $GDMCustomFile fi sed -i s/\[daemon\]/\[daemon\]\n$AutologinParameters/ $GDMCustomFile fi With that, we handle every cases: - no GDMCustomFile, create the autologin part with [daemon] - GDMCustomFile already exists with [daemon] section but without the autologin part (case of ubutu derivatives): add it - GDMCustomFile exists without [daemon] section: add all the autologin stuff and the section (don't know if that can happen with current GDM implementation, but it'll surely later) - GDMCustomFile exists with [daemon] section and autologin stuff in place (case of persistent usb key): don't do anything And we get our \n interpreted by sed :) This new proposal is in my linked branch. ** Changed in: casper (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High -- No more autologin in live CD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505140 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

For what it's worth, I uploaded a changed casper that fixes the immediate issue, before being made aware of this discussion. It's casper 1.213.

From IRC: Sorry about the breakage. However, I *really* don't like using echo -e; it has a habit of producing weird side-effects later when things are run under a shell you didn't expect. How about this trick to ensure that the same syntax is acceptable in either case? sed -i \$s/\$/\n$AutologinParameters/ $GDMCustomFile -- No more autologin in live CD https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505140 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
