Package: ltsp-client-builder Version: 0.99debian11 When using the ltsp-client-builder udeb to install the LTSP chroot from within debian-installer, the default X keyboard layout used by the thin client is not inherited from the keyboard layout setting selected in debian-installer. In the Debian Edu subproject, we want the keyboard layout selected during installation to take effect also in LTSP, to reduce the amount of configuration required before the system is ready to use.
I believe this patch solve the problem, by preseeding the debian-installer/keymap value into the ltsp chroot, and leaving it to the xserver-xorg postinst script to set the X keyboard layout like it does on a normal Debian install. It add a dependency on the kbd-chooser udeb, to make sure the user selected the keyboard layout before ltsp-client-builder is executed. The patch add a new progress bar step as well for the keyboard layout passing. Not sure if it make sense or not. According to Oliver at Ubuntu, they set the keyboard layout using the locales ltsp-server plugin, by copying the console-setup config from the server to the client and run locale-gen $LANG. It might be an option for Debian too. --- ltsp-0.99debian11/debian/ltsp-client-builder.postinst 2007-01-11 08:20:46.000000000 +0100 +++ ltsp-0.99debian11-pere/debian/ltsp-client-builder.postinst 2007-05-01 11:47:54.000000000 +0200 @@ -33,12 +33,21 @@ # if everything is fine, run ltsp-build-client on the target disk -db_progress START 0 2 ltsp-client-builder/progress +db_progress START 0 3 ltsp-client-builder/progress apt-install ltsp-server db_progress STEP 1 +# Make the d-i keyboard layout setting available in the ltsp chroot +db_get debian-installer/keymap +if [ "$RET" ] ; then + echo "d-i debian-installer/keymap string $RET" > /tmp/ltsp-preseed + BUILD_CLIENT_OPTS="$BUILD_CLIENT_OPTS --debconf-seeds /tmp/ltsp-preseed" +fi + +db_progress STEP 1 + # workaround for: http://bugs.debian.org/390647 in-target /bin/touch /etc/resolv.conf diff -ur ltsp-0.99debian11/debian/control ltsp-0.99debian11-pere/debian/control --- ltsp-0.99debian11/debian/control 2007-05-01 12:38:35.000000000 +0200 +++ ltsp-0.99debian11-pere/debian/control 2007-01-11 08:20:46.000000000 +0100 @@ -53,7 +53,7 @@ Section: debian-installer XC-Package-Type: udeb Architecture: all -Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, kbd-chooser, pkgsel +Depends: ${misc:Depends}, ${shlibs:Depends}, pkgsel XB-Installer-Menu-Item: 70 Description: Build an LTSP environment in the installer target This udeb bootstraps the LTSP client chroot in the installer target -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
