# Desktop Session (Pre-)Autoloader

FIXME: this README.md needs to be beautified...

Old dirty hack. Stick this line in a file under /etc/rc.local.d/
[ $(date +%s) -lt $(date -d 07:55 +%s) ] && su autoload -c "Xvfb :10 &
DISPLAY=:10 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session startxfce4 &"

This will start things if the machine boots up before 07:55, combine
this with wol, so things are up and running before pupils arrive.

Then, create a autostart.desktop file for the "autoload" user, which
logs him automatically out after 90 sec, like this:
/home/autoload/.config/autostart/sleepandkill.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=sleepandkill
Exec=/bin/sh -c "sleep 90; pkill -u autoload"
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=false

I stick these desktopfiles in under
/home/autoload/.config/autostart/ as well:
firefox.desktop
geogebra.desktop
libreoffice-writer.desktop
sleepandkill.desktop
Thunar.desktop


That wau LO, FF, Thunar and Geogebra is already cached on the client.

Dirty hack, but you notice the differene quit well.
