            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Dec-29 at 14:12

            As you can see in strace, the execve command executes as: execve("/bin//nc", ["/bin//nc", "/bin//nc-e //bin/bash -nvlp 4455"], NULL) = 0 It seems to be taking the whole /bin//nc-e //bin/bash -nvlp 4455 as a single argument and thus thinks it's a hostname. In order to get around that, the three argv[] needed for execve() is pushed seperately. argv[]=["/bin/nc", "-e/bin/bash", "-nvlp4455"] These arguments are each pushed into edx, ecx, and ebx. since ebx needs to be /bin/nc, which was already done in the original code. we just needed to push 2nd and 3rd argv[] into ecx and edx and push it into stack. After that we just copy the whole stack into ecx, and then xor edx,edx to set edx as NULL.

            Here is the correct solution:

            LightDM Webkit2 images issue
            Asked 2021-May-15 at 15:31

            I am working on my hobby project for creating a theme for lightdm webkit2. I have choosen react framework since I am very comfortable with it. Here is the repo link https://github.com/gitneeraj/reactive/tree/feature/dist (checkout branch feature/dist). With some adjustments(mentioned below), I can get to see the HTML loaded fine as greeter on Display Manager. My problem is when I got a route that has images in the page, then those images does not load even if I have it bundled in. Same applies for any custom font files. Below are the steps to reproduce the issue -

            Before you start, make sure you are testing this on a virtual machine. I recommend Arch Linux(because thats what I use) with lightdm and lightdm-webkit2-greeter packages installed and confirgured correctly.

            1. clone the repo git@github.com:gitneeraj/reactive.git
            2. checkout to branch feature/dist and npm i to install deps
            3. npm start to see all works fine on browser
            4. npm run build to build the bundle. This will spit out reactive directory
            5. Manually copy the built reactive folder into /usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes folder
            6. Manually update the /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf file's webkit_theme variable to theme name reactive. Like so, webkit_theme = reactive
            7. log out/off of your current session and you should see the theme.
            8. Click on little cog at the bottom and it should take you to DM's list page with images and text. But images wont load.

            I have found solution for this as its related to how you build your project for production. Keeping in mind that Linux treats slash (/) as root, we need to use absolute path from where the theme will be installed to.

            Automatically use desired monitor and the corresponding audio ouput
            Asked 2021-Apr-27 at 14:00

            I'm using manjaro-linux-i3 with polybar and I'm currently working on my multiple monitor setup. I have a TV which I normally use with the amplifier it is connected to. In addition I have my desk with a triple monitor setup which I normally use with my headphones for audio output. One of my screens is in portrait orientation which always messes up my login screen.

            I'm able to change my audio ouput and my active monitor as I wish. But I want it to be more efficient. At the moment I'm using arandr to change my monitor and pavucontrol to change my audio output when needed.

            I want that my login manager(lightdm) is always displayed correctly on my monitors(even on the portrait one). It would be nice if anybody could give me way how to combine changing monitors and the audio output in one blow. So that I don't have to this every time manually.

            ...

            ANSWER

            Answered 2021-Apr-27 at 14:00

            I have similar setup and I got everything working what you might want if I understood you corretely.

            If you setup everything right, then your loginmanager should always be displayed on the monitor which is active at boot and you can switch your monitors&sink with a simple keybind.

            First, you can add a script to lightdm to config your monitors so that everything is displayed correctely. But be aware that a broken script can leed to the effect that your loginmanager won't be loaded correctly (blackscrren).

            in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf you can define a script at #greeter-setup-script= . Simply uncomment the line and add the path to your script.

            An easy way to config your monitors the way you want is to use arandr. Simply config your monitor the ways you want and save the setup. You will be saving an usual xrandr command, which can be used in your script.

            Here is my script. It is very basic and actually only checks if a monitor of my desk is active. If so, it initialises the monitors of my desk. If not, it initialises my tv. It also sets the audio output I use with those monitors.

            To get a list of all active monitors use this command:

            xrandr --listactivemonitors | awk '!/Monitors/ {print $4}'

            To get a list off all sinks(audio output) use this command:

            pacmd list-sinks | grep -e 'name:' -e 'index:' | awk '{print $2}'| awk '{print substr($0, 2, length($0) - 2)}'

            Now you can change my commands (sink and monitor names) with the onces you need. You can execute the script in the terminal so get feedback of the choosen sink and monitor (for testing). Don't forget to make your script executable else it won't work.

            I got a similar script to manually change between my tv and my desk (mirroring scrrens, duplicate, tv-only, ect) It too changes the sink according to the selected monitors. As you are using polybar too, you might notice that I relaunch polybar with sh /home/lluks/.config/polybar/launch.sh This is the script. It ensures that my applets are displayed on the main monitor as poylbar can only display them on one monitor. This is archieved by using a 2 diffrent bars for poylbar. For this script to work, you need dmenu and rofi. If I remember corretely, you also need Font Awesome for the icons.

            Ryzen 7 4800, Ubuntu 20.04.02: Display and/or USB problems
            Asked 2021-Mar-17 at 08:34

            Installed Ubuntu Studio 20.04 on an ASUS PN50 mini-PC with Ryzen 7 4800. Upgraded to 20.04.2, kernel 5.8.0-44-lowlatency. Memory 32 GB 3200 MHz. Installation itself was smooth. The box only runs Radeon graphics. There is no NVIDIA. The desktop is Xfce 4.14.

            I may be mixing apples and oranges, but since I can't tell (I'm not a hw freak) I'll report more than one issue. They may or may not be related, please bear with me.

            Prelude: After installation the system didn't seem to boot. Stuck with Ubuntu splash screen.

            On closer look lightdm wouldn't start. This fact kept the system waiting indefinitely.

            I modified /etc/default/grub, deleted "quiet splash", added "nomodeset". The system now boots to text. After logging in I do a manual "startx" and the box generally seems to behave well. Graphics look good, snappy response. Later I added "amdgpu.exp_hw_support=1" to grub, but I haven't noticed any difference. The gpumanager log ends with "Nothing to do".

            I'm not sure what lightdm does, but it is the default display manager:
            /etc/X11/default-display-manager: /usr/sbin/lightdm

            Here is systemctl status lightdm.service output. I'm not sure what it's telling me.

            One file was missing from the lightdm configuration. This is an installation from scratch, so either it's missing from the Ubuntu Studio distribution, or maybe I unwittingly deleted it myself somehow.

            The file is: /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf:

            The log files states that it cannot bind to the standard slurmd port 6818, because there is something else using this address already.

            Do you have another slurmd running on this node? Or something else listening there? Try netstat -tulpen | grep 6818 to see what is using the address.

            Asked 2020-Sep-20 at 19:26

            I am creating a custom LightDM-Greeter using docs provided by conical. The problem is that these docs do not specify the linking procedure of the lightdm library.

            I am running Arch Linux x86_64. On querying using pkg-config --cflags --libs lightdm I get no results, Package lightdm was not found in the pkg-config search path to be specific.

            So, do I need to build the src and then statically link to the objects, or is there a way to dynamically link to something like lightdm.so.

            Problem adding extra loginctl seat for a Multiseat headless xserver-xorg-video-dummy driver on Ubuntu bionic 18.04?
            Asked 2020-Jun-17 at 20:36

            I am trying to add an extra headless seat/session to allow LightDM to offer a headless login page for VNC users without interfering with the person using the desktop. I tried several configurations (with no discernible errors in the logs) similar to the following tutorials for an nVidia card and another adapter:

            https://techoverflow.net/2019/02/23/how-to-run-x-server-using-xserver-xorg-video-dummy-driver-on-ubuntu/

            https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg_multiseat

            https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiseatTeam/Instructions

            However, so far the newer systemd related Xorg configuration process ignores the Xorg "dummy" driver in the examples (for a detached VNC desktop under a separate user login). Notably, the lightDM settings are loaded for the detected nVidia [Seat:card0] setup, but as the [Seat:seat4] is never polled by loginctl it's conf is never applied in LightDM.
