[[!meta date="Fri Aug 5 02:02:02 2011"]] ## Current progress: - obtain list of kb layouts and variants available (via python-xklavier) - DONE. - populate layout widget with kb variants - DONE. - merge feature/better_root_access_control branch - DONE. - apply correct layout after it's been chosen (both to present and following greeter widgets and to actual session) - postponed. - verify that layout switching works after login - postponed - version tag and update - DONE. ## Problems: - tails-greeter is run under gdm's account but altering gdm PostLogon files (to set env variables) or locale compilation via localedef require root privileges. - xklavier set and check layout without errors but it doesn't affect greeter nor following session. - better_root_access_control feature requires env. variable to be set which is not possible yet. ## Near-future plans: - wait for answer from gdm and xklavier devs to figure out workarounds for current problems - replace 2 widgets with 1 panel with same functionality - test the result with tails ## Additional notes: - right now there are 2 "screens" which user moves through by pressing "next" button. That's rather ugly and is planned to be replaced with one of the following: 1) single "screen" with requests for both at the same time 2) 2 "screens" with language and layout requests on first one and admin password request on second one - Which do you think is better and why? - Please feel free to discuss it on irc this Saturday during regular meeting time or whenever you'll see max-gsoc
