Hello All,
I have used Linux as my primary desktop system 1999 until July
2019. I have used Lubuntu Live for 5 other systems, as well as
a few Raspberry Pis running Linux. I have configured and
compiled more Linux kernels than can be imagined as well as
many major and complex OSS source packages over the years.
Currently this eMail is in reference to Lubuntu 19.10 Live
image.
I have a unique need in a Lubuntu Live image. Currently I use
a method of unravelling the ISO and then chroot into the
unravelled image to customize.
This time customization requirements have expanded. This
expanded customization adds in a number of unique scripts that
have no impact to how a Live image is created or functions.
The expanded customized scripts do need to know some basic
system information and when this information is enabled. The
information in question is when the lubuntu user is created and
when the host name lubuntu is set.
I have searched all over the internet for information related
to the casper based Live image configuration. The research has
indicated multiple times that the Username and Hostname are set
in the casper.conf file. That seems simple enough, but I seem
to find a gap in this information based on the Lubuntu Live
image. This is why I am sending this message to the mailing
list in hopes what I have found thus far can have the gaps I
have been unable to determine by research and digging into the
Lubuntu Live image files.
On the Live image I have found two /etc/casper.conf files. One
in the initrd and one in the filesystem.squashfs. Both of these
casper.conf files show a ubuntu for the Username and hostname.
By contrast when I look at the /tec/casper.conf of a booted
live Lubuntu the Username and Hostname in the /etc/casper.conf
show lubuntu for the Username and Hostname.
The question then is when how did the /etc/casper.conf on the
Live unionfs/aufs file system change to reflect the expected
lubuntu values for Username and Hostname? Am I missing
something very basic in my search of the files on initrd or
filesystem.squashfs that would answer this question or is there
some intermediate script effecting these changes?
