Re: Testing tails-greeter in Wheezy's Debian Live



So, I have a fork for tails-greeter at:

https://github.com/adrian15/tails-greeter

branch master: Upstream's master which happens to be: 0.8.5 version.
branch debian-live: Enforces as much as possible not to enable specific Tails bits. Kind of a workaround.
branch rescatux_0.32: debian-live + "It hides 'Welcome to Tails' message".

If you build your tails-greeter package from it you won't have to do the hacks I showed you. You would only have to install the package, stop lightdm and then start gdm3 and you are done.

Introduction
------------
   As you might know I'm interested in the final user being able to
choose a keyboard from a menu. And that should work in Debian Live by
default. ( https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2014/10/msg00056.html )

   I finally made my mind to use tails-greeter as a base for this
specific requirement (
https://lists.debian.org/debian-live/2014/11/msg00041.html) and this
email explains my findings and doubts about it.

Possible fork
-------------

   I might begin to work in a fork so that I can use tails-greeter in
Rescatux, and so that we can have more insights on how to modify
tails-greeter to make it suitable for Debian Live.

   The first changes will be aimed at no having to workaround files
manually in order to make it work and probably also some design details,
and some Tails string being replaced by Rescatux.

   I'll keep you informed of such fork.

More information
----------------
The instructions above imply that you have to replace lightdm by gdm3.
That's not strictly needed if you know how to replace the default
lightdm greeter.


Thank you for having read till this point. I know it was a long message.
