Random comments in config files

So trying to get nice DCV working in Rocky 8.7… having some issues to say the least but today, while looking for some answers in various aspects of X and GDM I came across this brilliant little bit of programming commentary…

Peep the first few commented lines :joy:

SETXKBMAP=`gdmwhich setxkbmap`
if [ "x$SETXKBMAP" != "x" ] ; then
  # FIXME: is this all right?  Is this completely on crack?
  # What this does is move the xkb configuration from the GDM_PARENT_DISPLAY
  # FIXME: This should be done in code.  Or there must be an easier way ...
  if [ -n "$GDM_PARENT_DISPLAY" ]; then
    XKBSETUP=`( DISPLAY=$GDM_PARENT_DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$GDM_PARENT_XAUTHORITY $SETXKBMAP -v )`
    if [ -n "$XKBSETUP" ]; then
      XKBKEYMAP=`echo "$XKBSETUP" | grep '^keymap' | awk '{ print $2 }'`
      XKBTYPES=`echo "$XKBSETUP" | grep '^types' | awk '{ print $2 }'`
      XKBCOMPAT=`echo "$XKBSETUP" | grep '^compat' | awk '{ print $2 }'`
      XKBSYMBOLS=`echo "$XKBSETUP" | grep '^symbols' | awk '{ print $2 }'`
      XKBGEOMETRY=`echo "$XKBSETUP" | grep '^geometry' | awk '{ print $2 }'`
      if [ -n "$XKBKEYMAP" ]; then
        $SETXKBMAP -keymap "$XKBKEYMAP"
      elif [ -n "$XKBTYPES" -a -n "$XKBCOMPAT" -a -n "$XKBSYMBOLS" -a -n "$XKBGEOMETRY" ]; then
        $SETXKBMAP -types "$XKBTYPES" -compat "$XKBCOMPAT" -symbols "$XKBSYMBOLS" -geometry "$XKBGEOMETRY"
      elif [ -n "$XKBTYPES" -a -n "$XKBCOMPAT" -a -n "$XKBSYMBOLS" ]; then
        $SETXKBMAP -types "$XKBTYPES" -compat "$XKBCOMPAT" -symbols "$XKBSYMBOLS"
      elif [ -n "$XKBSYMBOLS" ]; then
        $SETXKBMAP -symbols "$XKBSYMBOLS"
      fi
    fi
  fi

Specifically what are you trying to resolve in this with NiceDCV?

Specifically I was looking to make sure that access was being set for the dcv user during installation… it was further up.

if (! command -v dcvgladmin || ! dcvgladmin status) > /dev/null; then
dcvxgrantaccess +dcv
else
dcvxgrantaccess
fi

END-DCV

…but then I saw the comment lines and thought they were funny.

The issue is that dcv connects to the host. There are no errors being thrown but no matter what the screen is black.

It’s my science project at this point. The scab you can’t stop picking at.

I can say this much… it’s an xorg.conf issue.

Looks like all my code comments
