GDM Maker

Source code I have written openly published for your viewing pleasure.


GDM Maker

Postby TheeMahn » Sun Jan 06, 2008 4:04 pm

10/10/09: I have retouched this situation and it is off the hook, took me ~a year sorry. One of our admin Tuxsax wrote a deb which I have re-wrote. It is currently not on the repo, however the below instructions still work if you want to check it out. The code has changed btw it uses kiss... Keep it simple stupid ;) On to the original post:

I have plans to write a GDM (login screen) for *nix, damn now I am committed ;) does not exist, why not write one :) This post will be updated as I write a GDM maker. For those new to *nix GDM stands for Graphical Display Manager, the first login screen you see. This script will generate a GDM login based on the image you select, I suggest the image to be of a resolution of 1280 X 1024 or greater. As always source will be posted, I am here for the people, I do not care if you use it to make your "Ultimate Edition", Mint etc. I am here to help get Billy off your system ;) Much heavier software to follow.

NOW DONE

Well that was quick, 1 day's work :) Modified the USplash maker to make a GDM Maker to install from a terminal:
Code: Select all
cd ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/
wget http://ubuntusoftware.info/scripts/MakeGDM
sudo chmod +x MakeGDM


Breaking down what the script does... Asks user for input of the name of the GDM login file as well as name will be for it, description & requests the authors name. Converts the image to 1280 X 1024, downloads additional objects required for building it, generates a screenshot that shows up in login manager compiles in user info provided, generates the tar.gz file of end user specification and cleans up the working folder. As always the source freely modifiable:

I'm very happy, that you have created the GDM Maker and the SplashMaker :D, because I whant built my own splash and loginn screen for a longer time. The only thing I have to change now is the innerbackgound.
And I want to use my own start up music. But I don't kow how ?

Tanks for doing all the good things, Harvey

Sounds as I do to build Ultimate Edition (on programming level)...

Code: Select all
cd /usr/share/sounds/#<<- this is where your sound event files are stored
rm login.wav
rm logout.wav
rm shutdown*
rm error.wav
rm info.wav
rm question.wav
rm stress*
rm sure.wav
rm warning.wav
wget http://ubuntusoftware.info/upgrades/sounds/shutdown.wav
wget http://ubuntusoftware.info/upgrades/sounds/login.wav
wget http://ubuntusoftware.info/upgrades/sounds/logout.wav
wget http://ubuntusoftware.info/upgrades/sounds/info.wav
wget http://ubuntusoftware.info/upgrades/sounds/question.wav
wget http://ubuntusoftware.info/upgrades/sounds/stresspi.wav
wget http://ubuntusoftware.info/upgrades/sounds/sure.wav
wget http://ubuntusoftware.info/upgrades/sounds/warning.wav
cp login.wav startup.wav
nano /etc/sound/events/gnome-2.soundlist#<<- this file is your default sound event list


GDM:
1. modify my gdm script located in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/MakeGDM

Code: Select all
sudo gedit ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/MakeGDM


goto the bottom and find:
rm -R $GDMNAME

remove it or put a # in front of it.
save and exit

2. create your gdm it will leave the working directory modify it until you are happy right click the folder and hit create archive make a tar.gz of the file.

3. import it into login manager and enjoy.
