I configured my desktop then copied .conky and .config to /etc/skel ( had to edit conky-startup.sh -change myname to $USER) and made a snapshot resetting accounts. when I boot up the iso the demo account has my configurations but no conky. If I make an installation the user I setup has my configurations and the conky.
Why does the conky not show up when I boot up in the demo?

Re: Snapshot for distribution
Don't know, if it works for a regular user, it should work for demo, as long as all the spots to adjust have been made.old_guy wrote:I configured my desktop then copied .conky and .config to /etc/skel ( had to edit conky-startup.sh -change myname to $USER) and made a snapshot resetting accounts. when I boot up the iso the demo account has my configurations but no conky.

can you post your modified conky-startup.sh file that you have stored in the /etc/skel directory?

Re: Snapshot for distribution
Can you post here your conky-startup.sh, maybe there's another thing going on, maybe you have a folder hard-coded inside.

My conky-startup.sh
I edited the MX-Gotham colors and locationsleep 20s
killall conky
cd "/home/$USER/.conky/MX-Gotham"

Re: Snapshot for distribution
Don't see anything wrong with it, just that cd is probably not needed. Sleep 20s is kind of long, but you should see it running in 20 seconds if the script runs.
Is the script exec bit set? Also where does it get copied (where in /etc/skel did you put it), and how do you plan to run this script automatically?
