LightDM calling session cleanup script on unlock.
I have a script that runs on login & logout through lightdm. This script loads / unloads a ramdisk for Minecraft. Sometimes I leave Minecraft running so my zombie farm can fill up. However when the screen locks it logs me out, removing the folders in the ramdisk. How can I make it just lock without running the session-cleanup-script in lightdm? AKA not logging out?

Re: Disable logout on screensaver XFCE
power manager settings?
PS: discarding what you told us about your minecraft zombie farm, there really isn't much info in your OP.

Re: Disable logout on screensaver XFCE
Is the problem with lightdm (light-locker) or with Xscreensaver?

Re: Disable logout on screensaver XFCE
Sorry it took me a few days. I didn't know what information to include. However I have found that my script was in error. Nothing is wrong with lightdm. Rewrote and been testing all afternoon. Not a hitch. Got it wrapped up. Sharing script as my solution for anyone who may need it to ramdisk minecraft easy enough.
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
# tadaen sylvermane | jason gibson
# minecraft ramdisk loader
## main source ##
. /usr/local/bin/desktopsource
## main setup ##
bin_links mcramdisk userload
## variables ##
RAMDISKDIR=/ramdisk
DATARESOURCE=/data/minecraft/resourcepacks
RAMDISKRESOURCE="$RAMDISKDIR"/resourcepacks
RAMDISKGID=2000
## begin script ##
user_loader() {
if [[ ! -e "$RAMDISKDIR"/"$USER"/.minecraft ]] ; then
if [[ -e /data/"$USER"/.minecraft ]] ; then
mkdir -p "$RAMDISKDIR"/"$USER"/.minecraft
rsync -auv --progress --exclude=resourcepacks /data/"$USER"/.minecraft/* "$RAMDISKDIR"/"$USER"/.minecraft/
ln -s "$RAMDISKRESOURCE" "$RAMDISKDIR"/"$USER"/.minecraft/
if [[ ! -h /home/"$USER"/.minecraft ]] || [[ $(readlink /home/"$USER"/.minecraft) != "$RAMDISKDIR"/"$USER"/.minecraft ]] ; then
rm -r /home/"$USER"/.minecraft
ln -s "$RAMDISKDIR"/"$USER"/.minecraft /home/"$USER"/
fi
fi
else
rsync -auv --progress --exclude=resourcepacks "$RAMDISKDIR"/"$USER"/.minecraft/* /data/"$USER"/.minecraft/
rm -r "$RAMDISKDIR"/"$USER"
fi
}
case "$SCRIPTCALL" in
mcramdisk)
if ! mountpoint -q "$RAMDISKDIR" ; then
if [[ "$USER" == root ]] ; then
if ! grep "$RAMDISKDIR" /etc/fstab ; then
mkdir -p "$RAMDISKDIR"
echo "#minecraft ramdisk
none ${RAMDISKDIR} tmpfs defaults,size=2048M,gid=${RAMDISKGID} 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
groupadd --gid "$RAMDISKGID" $(basename "$RAMDISKDIR")
for user in /home/* ; do
usermod -aG $(basename "$RAMDISKDIR") $(basename "$user")
done
fi
mount "$RAMDISKDIR"
else
echo "must be root for setup!"
exit 0
fi
fi
if [[ ! -e /ramdisk/resourcepacks ]] ; then
rsync -auv --progress "$DATARESOURCE" "$RAMDISKDIR"
else
rsync -auv --progress "$RAMDISKRESOURCE"/* "$DATARESOURCE"
fi
;;
userload)
case $(basename $(cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager)) in
lightdm)
export RAMDISKDIR="$RAMDISKDIR"
export RAMDISKRESOURCE="$RAMDISKRESOURCE"
export -f user_loader
su -c "user_loader" "$USER"

Re: [Solved] Disable logout on screensaver XFCE
I use session-cleanup & session-setup in lightdm to fire the script off for whichever user. At the time it appeared to be running even though I wasn't logging out. Not about Minecraft, rather about my error in the cause of the problem.

Re: [Solved] Disable logout on screensaver XFCE
Removed solved tag. I found the source here. I don't know enough to try to fix it myself. But just an fyi, if anyone has any workarounds. The bug report shows them ignoring it so it isn't a popular problem I guess. I have worked around by eliminating screen locking altogether, however clearly not an ideal workaround.
