I am setting up diskless clients using KDE in kiosk mode.
It is setup using a read-only NFS root and a read-write tmpfs merged
into root using UnionFS. This works well but when I do 'kde-config
--path config' it shows the path in the Union and on the ro-NFS. As a
result I see double-ups all over the place, eg. entries in the menu, icons.
Here are the mounts:
1.1.1.1:/diskless/root on /dev/diskless/roots type nfs
(ro,v3,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,tcp,nolock,addr=1.1.1.1)
memfs on /dev/diskless/memfs type tmpfs (rw)
unionroot on / type unionfs
(rw,dirs=/dev/diskless/memfs=rw:/dev/diskless/roots=nfsro,debug=0,delete=whiteout,copyup=preserve)
Here is the 'kde-config --path config' output:
/root/.kde/share/config/:/usr/share/config/:/dev/diskless/roots/usr/share/config/
I have tried setting $KDEDIRS and "dir_config=/usr/share/config/" in
"kderc" but it always includes both regardless. If I add something
obscure to kderc it is "added" to this list. eg. when "dir_config=/tmp"
is added i get
"/root/.kde/share/config/:/usr/share/config/:/dev/diskless/roots/usr/share/config/:/tmp/".
When applying a kiosk profile to a user the kiosk path is added to this
list. eg.
"/home/user/.kde/share/config/:/etc/kde-profile/diskless/share/config/:/usr/share/config/:/dev/diskless/roots/usr/share/config/:/tmp/"
Any suggestions how i can get KDE to ignore the "/dev/diskless/roots/" path?
Distro: FC4
KDE: 3.5.1
Yours truly,
Ben
