#241 [Talk-50] Why does the boot loader care about gnome-terminal?
Closed: Talk Scheduled 3 years ago by riecatnor. Opened 3 years ago by zbyszek.

Questions/Requested Information

This year our contributor conference will be virtual! You have the option to submit live or pre-recorded sessions.

What is your proposal?

Why are we adding connections between pieces of software at widely different levels?

  • the graphical user session talks to the boot loader to set boot-loader flags (systemd-bless-boot, grub-boot-sucess)
  • the system manager mounts and unmounts user directories (systemd-homed)
  • user directories are moved onto the main system partition (btrfs)
  • systemd units are used for user-level applications
  • systemd is taking over the management of gnome session
  • systemd generators manage desktop unit autostart (xdg-autostart-generator)
  • desktop services talk to the kernel memory manager (uresourced)
  • userspace services take memory management away from the kernel (earlyoom, systemd-oomd)

Instead of having nicely separated layers we are moving towards a system where everything seems to know about everything (and systemd has an ever-growing contact surface). All components are becoming more complicated and entangled. Where is the process going, what is the motivation, are there any gains, will this ever stop?

I want to discuss the developments in the list above, show that they make sense and are not as dangerous as some people say, listen to even more ideas about integration of components.

Who in addition to the speaker needs to be in the virtual room for this to succeed? This could be the audience you need to reach, other participants in the conversation, or other stakeholders.

Members of various teams, especially Workstation. Too many people too list.

Is this a…

Hi! Nest with Fedora is beginning shortly. I want to thank you for speaking at this years contributor conference, your time and effort is appreciated :)

I have outlined the basic process for speakers below. If you have questions, feel free to drop them here and I will do my best to answer them before the event begins.

How to get to your session:
Enter the event
Go to Sessions tab on the left at the correct time
Click your session
Accept permissions for audio/video
You're in!

Sessions are set up as moderated by the speakers. There is a maximum of 10 people on screen at once, though people can leave the screen and different attendees can request permission to join. The speaker(moderator) will have a moderation panel on the bottom left hand side to allow or deny the request. If you feel you need someone besides yourself to help with moderation, please make sure they are registered for the event and provide their full name here. Anyone can watch and participate in the chat. Sessions will be recorded.

To share slides, there is an option at the bottom to share your screen, where you can choose the window/tab to share. To share a video with audio, you can share your screen and play the audio on loud speaker (so your mic picks it up). Screen sharing works just as other video conferencing tools (like Google Meet, Bluejeans etc).

If you have technical issues during your session, contact one of the attendees labelled "Organiser" or myself, Marie Nordin, through the platforms direct message function.

Cheers!
