Hello Scott, I took a look at the jackd package. Because ubiquity doesn't seem to allow jackd's config to ask us if we want RT, and the jackd pkg maintainers may not feel the default should be RT true, it seems that for us we need to tell jackd to install rt as if the user had chosen RT true. There are two parts to this, by trying this as we are set, we make sure it works. Then should we figure out how to ask user questions with ubiquity, we would use the same code there.
So, I would suggest that our default settings package include in the DEBIAN directory a file called config (this is the standard name for things run before installation starts, what jackd uses) This file should be "chmod +x" and have this in it: -------------------------------8<-------------------------------- #!/bin/sh -e # Source debconf library. . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule # realtime prio? db_set jackd/tweak_rt_limits true db_go ------------------------------8<------------------------------ This is almost identical to what jackd has but they have a db_input line instead of a db_set. Even if we figure out how to use ubiquity to ask this question for us, we would still need this bit of code, so it would be nice to try it out and make sure it works. I don't know if there is a way of telling the installer to not run a config for a certain package or what order to run them in. Ours needs to run last. I don't know if it does things in the order the seeds use or file order (alphabetically). If it runs the order of the seeds, it may not work and there may need to be a package in the audio-common package to do this instead. (audio-settings?)

I think the file is there. Or maybe you mean the desktop BG which comes out solid colour till I look at the settings then it jumps to the xfce. The solid colour actually works quite well. But the lightdm BG is a right file just wrong path. > 5. greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter > > this is okay because the lightdm-gtk-greeter file is actually a > symlink to whatever session filename is configured. in our case it > should point to ubuntustudio-lightdm-gtk-greeter (although this may > not be the actual name, i'll check on my ubuntu machine at home when > doing the code again) > Yup, the link and file are fine. My thought was that it would be more organized and easier to trouble shoot/update if all our config files were in the same place. So long as people know where things are, it's fine. > lastly, i want to thank you again len for the great things you are > doing. they have all been a HUGE help to the me, the team, ubuntu > studio, and all ubuntu studio users! OK ok... glad to be helping. Just a thought... we all work different ways so this may not work for you. if it was me, I would be putting in changes as I made them (well not more than once a day) so they could be tested while there is lots of time to make changes. I would put things like menu changes in so people can see them and give feed back. It is relatively easy to switch back things that don't work. Another strategy would be to email out package changes. I think I should be able to write the new package over the old on the usb ISO. This wouldn't show up on the live session, just the install. It would take a bit longer to test (the live dvd loads fast) but would let you know whats happening. The install process is shorter at least in my time taken than the alt was. All of the user interaction is at the beginning and then I can walk away and do something else while it finishes. I am not sure how the live DVD works, but it does seem to be an accurate representation of what the install will be like. It will be interesting to see what happens when you get the default session set. Anyway, these are just ideas, they may not work for you. Maybe wouldn't work for me if I was doing the actual work. ;-) -- Len Ovens www.OvenWerks.net -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
