Description William Sjöblom cendio 2022-03-23 13:08:41 CET
Currently the TAG describes both how to use `tl-config' (in "Commands on the ThinLinc Server") and `hivetool' (under "Hiveconf") for modifying our configuration files. This is unnecessary since we want the end-users to exclusively use `tl-config'.

`hivetool' is an implementation detail of `tl-config' that we do not want to expose to the end-users. Thus, we should probably get rid of the mentions of `hivetool' in the documentation (or possibly the entire "Hiveconf" chapter) in preference of something better tied to `tl-config'.
Comment 2 Adam Halim cendio 2024-09-02 15:48:25 CEST
The mentions to hivetool in the TAG also include examples, such as running
> $ hivetool -Ra /
which crashes with
> Traceback (most recent call last):
>   File "/opt/thinlinc/bin/hivetool", line 599, in <module>
>     main()
>   File "/opt/thinlinc/bin/hivetool", line 585, in main
>     folder = hive.lookup(foldername)
> AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'lookup'
