[Welcome Center] [Bug 466282] RFE: Add a live environment mode so Plasma Welcome is useful on live media
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466282 --- Comment #8 from Nate Graham --- Yeah, sounds like we'll need to do that. Now onto the question of what it should display in live user mode. I guess we should have a custom page with a brief welcome to the distro as well as plasma, with a button to launch the installer, alongside a button to see the normal pages for a tour of Plasma. The app that the button launches would be controlled by a desktop file, which could also be specified in the config file (or that could be a CMake option, and then it would be unused outside of the live environment mode). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

It could be a simple key in plasma-welcomerc, like LiveUser=true that causes the autostart helper to use a different mode. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466282 --- Comment #4 from Nate Graham --- If compiling the app differently in the live environment is okay, we could add a CMake flag you can compile it with that will cause the autostart helper to launch the app in live user mode, rather than welcome mode. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

It's possible for the live user that you could disable the autostart KDED service (added in 6.0 or git master), and launch the welcome app with a custom argument. We could also add a different welcome page for live environments. To show the installer, a distro page could be added in the live environment. Some thought to more customising the order of these pages could help. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=466282 --- Comment #2 from Adam Williamson --- well, there may not be a good cross-distro way to do it :/ AFAIK, live boot is implemented differently on different distros, so there isn't just one reliable indicator. Fedora's live environment user is called 'liveuser', but I doubt it's the same on other distros. for GNOME, we do this customization [downstream](https://pagure.io/livesys-scripts/blob/main/f/libexec/livesys/sessions.d/livesys-gnome) - specifically, lines 58-61 disable the upstream GNOME welcome tour, and lines 51-56 enable the custom welcome screen we show on live boots instead. It may be the case that we need to do something similar for Plasma - upstream just needs to allow some sort of mechanism here (give the welcome tour a "live mode" or whatever), and we do the actual customization to make it kick in downstream. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I'm wondering how it would be best to detect, in the autostart helper, that the application is inside of a live environment. Perhaps username? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
