[Bug 998966] Re: acpid's upstart config file disappears when building client image

[Alkis Georgopoulos]

Those services were deleted by ltsp-build-client in the previous versions, but if you installed acpid after ltsp-build-client, it was there.
Now they're deleted on client boot, from /usr/share/ltsp/init-ltsp.d/50-rm-system-services.

To keep some of those services, you put them in lts.conf, e.g.:
KEEP_SYSTEM_SERVICES="acpid upstart-socket-bridge"

acpid is not installed by default on thin chroots. I'm not sure if
normal gnome or other DE sessions running on the server can handle acpid
events from a thin client. If they do, maybe acpid should be recommented
by ltsp-client, and be removed from the RM_THIN_SYSTEM_SERVICES list. If
that only works locally, e.g. for people using xfreerdp instead of ldm,
then it might be better to be left as is, and the KEEP_SYSTEM_SERVICES
solution to be documented somewhere.

Title:
  acpid's upstart config file disappears when building client image

Status in “ltsp” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  == What happens? ==

  Acpid allows a thin client to automatically shutdown when the power
  button is pressed.

  After installing the "acpid" package into the LTSP chroot, I update
  the image so that all thin clients will have that package installed.
  However, when I build the image, the upstart config file for acpid in
  "/etc/init" disappears  (along with a few others I might add).

  == What SHOULD happen? ==

  acpid should be installed on all thin clients and start automatically
  on boot, allowing seamless shutdowns via pressing the power button.

  == Notes ==

  The following is a list of "/etc/init/*" config files that don't seem
  to make it to the client image:

  > acpid.conf
  > alsa-restore.conf
  > alsa-store.conf
  > plymouth-stop.conf
  > tty2.conf
  > tty3.conf
  > tty4.conf
  > tty5.conf
  > tty6.conf
  > upstart-socket-bridge.conf
  > ureadahead.conf
  > ureadahead-other.conf
