[opensuse-factory] Start displaymanager only if monitor is connected

I have built a HTPC on Tumbleweed, that I use either for watching movies using Kodi or listen to music using mpd. I have enabled autologin so that the PC boots up without having to give the password. When I want to just listen to songs, I boot the PC without the monitor switched on. Next time I boot the PC with monitor switched on, the plasma desktop icon placement gets screwed up. The clock applet, the weather applet goes almost to the center instead of my preferred placement on the right side of the monitor. The only thing that works is to have autologin turned off in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager. But this defeats the purpose of automatically logging in when the monitor is switched on. So I was thinking of a way the boot process can boot in runlevel 3 if monitor is not switched on. I found a way to detect this by installing the application monitor-get-edid. This program returns 0 if monitor is connected and switched on. It returns 1 if the monitor is not switched on. But I have not figured out a way to boot to graphical target automatically when monitor is switched on and boot to multi-user.target when monitor is switched off. So I have given up on the runlevel switching idea. Now I am thinking of another way to do it. Write a systemd service script that calls monitor-get-edid and runs the following script #!/bin/sh /usr/sbin/monitor-get-edid > /dev/null 2>&1 if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then sed -i 's}.*DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN=.*}DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN="mbhangui"}g' /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager else # comment out DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN sed -i 's}.*DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN=.*}#DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN="mbhangui"}g' /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager fi Now how do I run this script before graphical.target ? Alternatively, is there a way that the graphical.target can wait forever wait till monitor-get-edid returns 0 -- Regards Manvendra - http://www.indimail.org GPG Pub Key http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xC7CBC760014D250C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner(a)opensuse.org
