Setup

You don't need to know any of the following just to contribute slides.

The infoscreen machine (hereafter called pltc-pi) runs on a Raspberry Pi. Contact @zfnmxt for access information. On startup, the user infoscreen is logged into a session that runs the script .xsessionrc. We have put the .xsessionrc in this repository; see the file xsessionrc n the system directory.

The primary job of xsessionrc is to start a tmux session that runs kantinfo, and start a simple window manager.

Dependencies

Our xsessionrc has these dependencies:

• matchbox: Simple window manager
• xdotool: Mouse pointer hiding.
• tmux: Like screen, but BSD.

Other slides may have more dependencies:

• toilet: Text formatting program.
• lxterminal with font size 33; we've attached a lxterminal.conf in the system-directory, which should be symlinked from ~/.config/lxterminal/.
• The fonts Gentium og Comfortaa.
