codam.webgreeter v1.5.3

• Added a variable that becomes the content of a custom idle logout hook: a script that gets executed after a user gets automatically logged out due to leaving a computer idling
• Bumped default version of codam-web-greeter to install to v1.3.6

codam.webgreeter v1.5.2

• Bumped default version of codam-web-greeter to be installed to v1.3.2

codam.webgreeter v1.5.1

• Added variable ddcci_backlight_support to optionally prevent installation of ddcci-dkms and its ddcci-backlight kernel module. This comes in handy for iMacs with T2 chips, which run a kernel that does not support this module.

codam.webgreeter v1.5.0

• Now installing ddcci-dkms and corresponding kernel module for backlight control of the computer monitor (requires codam-web-greeter >= v1.3.0)
• Prevented rate limiting issues for nody-greeter installation through GitHub
• Allow access to battery and backlight information to nody-greeter through lightdm

codam.webgreeter v1.4.0

Reworked idle logout to work with codam-web-greeter v1.2.0 and later. A timestamp of when the screen was locked is now stored in /tmp and read by the codam-web-greeter to display remaining time before logout. We're no longer solely relying on xprintidle.

This release, combined with codam-web-greeter v1.2.0, essentially fixes the issue that caused the lock screen to be stuck when xprintidle reported an idletime of 0 seconds, even after having the screen locked for 42 minutes... when the codam-web-greeter expected the user to get logged out.

codam.webgreeter v1.3.1

Fix broken lightdm configuration after running the codam.webgreeter.revertdisplaysetup tag (see release notes for v1.3.0)

codam.webgreeter v1.3.0

⚠️ It is highly recommended to update to this version of the role due to the previously introduced support for custom screensavers resulting in excessive power usage. If you used v1.2.0 or v1.2.1 of this role in the past, you are affected. ⚠️

• Reverted support for custom screensavers due to excessive power usage by the computers running with screen blanking disabled. It is recommended to run your site.yml with the codam.webgreeter,codam.webgreeter.revertdisplaysetup tags after updating the role to re-enable screen blanking.

⚠️ UPDATE 2024-11-18: running above tag breaks the lightdm configuration, only run this tag on v1.3.1 and higher.

• Added the following new variables (both requiring codam-web-greeter v1.2.0 or later):
  • codam_web_greeter_theme: The theme to use for the greeter. Can be dark or light.
  • codam_web_greeter_boxed_mode: Boxed mode adds a semi-transparent background to the login/unlock forms for better readability. Can be default (no background) or boxed.
