Vance Ayres posted a comment on discussion Logon Scripts
Now I remember the pmvarrun program comes up as missing when I install CID. systemctl comes up as missing also & of course the systemctl program error is due to the fact that antiX doesn't have systemd as the init system. I'm thinking that the pmvarrun error can be ignored & my weird stuff going on is due to something else. For my install of antiX 23.1 I had tried an init system called runit which is 1 of the options that they now have in antiX. I'm now in the process of installing antiX 23.2 & reverting...

Eduardo, I've got a message that's coming up when I login to a TTY console. It only happens when I login with a domain user. The message says "HXproc_run_async: pmvarrun: No such file or directory". I'm not even sure this is a bona fide error or just a message but I'm getting some weird stuff going on & wanted to get your input. Is there a log file that you would need to look at to help figure this out? This is on a Debian derivative called antiX 23.1. More than a year ago you had given me the instructions...

Hello Eduardo! I continue to use CID on my computers but now I have run into this problem where the password for the domain account is not cached. This is the 1st attempt at setting up a laptop that won't always be connected to the domain. I followed the instructions presented earlier in this discussion that recommended adding the line cached_login = yes to the /etc/security/pam_winbind.conf file. I didn't have that file so I created it & my 1st mistake was not putting [global] as a line above the...

Thanks Eduardo.

Eduardo, do you think there is a possibility CID would work on FreeBSD? Just wondering. Thanks!
-
It wasn't hard to figure out the problem but it would be helpful to change your summary to show the username & password as not capitalized. Thanks!! Vance

Sorry for the delay Eduardo. I've been busy with other things & not able to get to this project. On my problem with joining the domain, I had tried it with double quotes but that didn't work but with your tutoring I tried it with single quotes & that did work. The 2nd problem was resolved when I did the updates the computer needed. I think it was something broken with policykit-1 before the updates were done because when I ran the command "sudo cid-gtk" before updating I got an error that in part...

Eduardo, I've got a weird problem going on here. Using AntiX 21 which is a Debian derivative. It's also the same 1 I asked a question about several months ago because it doesn't have systemd. I suppose that might be related to my current problem but probably not. The commandline I try to use is "sudo cid join domain=ayres.lan user=vance pass=Emerson!!4510". Before I enter the password for sudo I get a line that tells me what I asked for. That line prints out as "sudo cid join domain=ayres.lan user=vance...

AntiX doesn't use systemd. Is there a way around the requirement of CID to use systemd? Thanks Eduardo!
-
Got it. Thanks Eduardo!
-
That did it Eduardo!!! Do you think the change you made in 1.2.4 will a be necessary improvement for other Debian flavors? I would assume the change is only applicable to Debian & its derivatives. It's been so good to work with you Eduardo & learn more about Linux. If I can be of assistance in the future let me know!

Trinity & it's version 4.7. I did just notice that 4.8 has been released though. I did figure out a workaround. Using the command "sudo systemctl set-default multi-user" in a TTY then rebooting changes the OS so it comes up to a TTY login rather than the GUI. Then I simply use startx to start the GUI & the shares are intact. Thanks for the help Eduardo. You are going above & beyond the standard support for your product CID!
-
My solution to this problem was to use a SDDM theme that allowed entering both the username & password. I was then able to login using SDDM

Here's the mount command in a terminal window in the GUI before I login to vance in a TTY: vance@q4os-desktop:~$ mount sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,nosuid,relatime,size=966244k,nr_inodes=241561,mode=755) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=198292k,mode=755) /dev/sda1...

Eduardo, I have some interesting information I'd like to get your feedback on. I did some more testing on this & discovered that if I login with CID users at a TTY console in Q4OS the login script works!!! The shares folder is created & the drive resource from the server is available! Then I logged out of the TTY session & was able to login at the GUI with the CID user but the shares folder is NOT created but if I go back to a TTY session & login with the same CID user I've been using all along the...

Good news Eduardo, This is the 1st time I've used the pam_mount capability but as far as I can tell it worked just as it should with Debian Bullseye!!!! This will give me the foundation to try getting other client OSs to work. Thanks!!! Vance
-
Eduardo, Thanks for the help. I think I did what you asked me to do. As you have time you can give me other thoughts. I'll continue to try changes. At this point I'm using a Debian derivative called Q4OS for the client & I'm still using Zentyal 6.2 on the server. I would assume either of these could be the problem. I think I'll try Debian Bullseye here pretty quick but if there's a log file or anything else that would help you figure this out I can provide that. Thanks!!! Vance

Eduardo, Further information. The /var/log/cid/scripts.log file simply has a bunch of lines in it that say this: "May 07 22:00:43 E520dt CID Init Script >> start 0: Successfully registered hostn ame with DNS" Thanks!!! Vance

Here's the shares.xml file.
-
So, Eduardo here's what I've done. I used the shares.xml file you have in /usr/share/cid/templates/scripts_cid/ & put the line you recommended in the file. I rebooted but the mount didn't work. What am I doing wrong? I have attached 2 files. The shares.xml file is attached as well as a screenshot of the location I put the file & the permissions on the file.
