Multiseat setup
by J T Dsouza 11 Aug '18

11 Aug '18

Has anyone done a multi seat setup? I am trying to do it with lightdm which is supposed to have built in ability for multiseat. I am able to get two mouse pointers but not independent. I get two keyboards but working as one. Both screens are controlled by one user with one single login instead of getting two independent lightdm login greeters. my lightdm.conf [LightDM] start-default-seat=true #[Seat:*] [Seat:0] xserver-command=/usr/bin/X :0 xserver-layout=HDMI [Seat:1] xserver-command=/usr/bin/X :1 xserver-layout=VGA my xorg.conf (relevant parts) Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "HDMI" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" # Screen 1 "Screen1" RightOf "Screen0" # InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" # InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection #Section "ServerLayout" # Identifier "VGA" # Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 # Screen 1 "Screen1" 1367 0 # InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" # InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" #EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "kbd" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "LG" ModelName "20MK400H-BB" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor1" VendorName "LG" ModelName "20MP48HB-BB" EndSection Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False", ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz", ### <percent>: "<f>%" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "Accel" # [<bool>] #Option "SWcursor" # [<bool>] #Option "EnablePageFlip" # [<bool>] #Option "SubPixelOrder" # [<str>] #Option "ZaphodHeads" # <str> #Option "AccelMethod" # <str> #Option "DRI3" # [<bool>] #Option "DRI" # <i> #Option "ShadowPrimary" # [<bool>] #Option "TearFree" # [<bool>] #Option "DeleteUnusedDP12Displays" # [<bool>] Identifier "Card0" Driver "amdgpu" BusID "PCI:6:0:0" Screen 0 EndSection Section "Device" ### Available Driver options are:- ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False", ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz", ### <percent>: "<f>%" ### [arg]: arg optional #Option "Accel" # [<bool>] #Option "SWcursor" # [<bool>] #Option "EnablePageFlip" # [<bool>] #Option "SubPixelOrder" # [<str>] #Option "ZaphodHeads" # <str> #Option "AccelMethod" # <str> #Option "DRI3" # [<bool>] #Option "ShadowPrimary" # [<bool>] #Option "TearFree" # [<bool>] #Option "DeleteUnusedDP12Displays" # [<bool>] Identifier "Card1" Driver "amdgpu" BusID "PCI:6:0:1" Screen 1 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" Monitor "Monitor0" SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen1" Device "Card1" Monitor "Monitor1" SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 EndSubSection EndSection

Should http be banned or blocked?
by Rony Bill 08 Aug '18

Dear Friends, With http being insecure and a magnet for injected ads, shouldn't the http protocol be completely banned or blocked internationally and nationally and https be the norm? Regards, Rony.

Thanks everyone for submitting the bid for DebConf in India. If we are thinking of IIT Mumbai as a venue for DebConf 20, then we need to make sure that IIT Mumbai gives us solid WiFi and mobile carrier signals in the campus. During the Mini-DebConf there, we had big issues with internet connectivity. This is something which we can easily fix with help of current students. We have good volunteer numbers in Pune and Mumbai combined, for on the ground support before the event (if it does happen). Also, Mumbai has many hotels to accommodate a large contingent and the IIT campus is large enough to accommodate multiple parallel tracks. Plus, we have many good sightseeing places nearby the city.

Happy to join in ILUG-BOM Linuxers list
by Baskar Selvaraj 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Hi all, Myself S. Baskar, an active member from ILUG-Chennai since 2005 who is more passionate about Linux/FOSS. A Linux/FOSS user since 1997. I came to know that, few users in this group are interested in creating a custom spin using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I have been creating custom spins based on various Linux distro for educational purpose. I hope I can share this experience with ILUG-BOM members if they are interested. A few days after the release of Ubuntu 18.04, I have created a spin based on LUbuntu 18.04 for Libraries. More information can be found in the below link. I can provide a copy of the spin for the group for experimentation. http://www.digimat.in/downloads/Digital-Library-OS-for-NPTEL-SWAYAM-local-c… S.

Ubuntu 18.04 Custom Image
by Milind Oka 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

Hi, I came across two recent blogs on how to create custom build for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. https://www.google.com/amp/s/linoxide.com/linux-how-to/create-custom-live-c… https://news.softpedia.com/news/you-can-now-create-your-own-ubuntu-18-04-lt… We do have two custom images, Fedora and Debian ( Thanks to Rajeev and Raghu). But Ubuntu is also a very popular distribution. Few schools may request ILUG -Team to install Ubuntu in future. It is difficult to build custom image for an average user. Also there is no proper help or documentation. We can even arrange a session in our monthly meetings and try it there itself. If our experts come together, then surely success will be ours Would anyone like to take the initiative ? Thanks and Regards Milind
