Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki 00bb6706fd vmbox: vm lightdm and vm shim — the host's login topology and fake hardware ... The golden image logs in with agetty+startx and has no RGB controllers, no NVIDIA card and no sound card, so the night-lockdown scripts — which mask/stop lightdm.service and getty@.service and shell out to openrgb, nvidia-smi and amixer — had nothing real to act on in a sandbox and were being "verified" on the host instead. - `vm lightdm <name>`: installs lightdm + lightdm-gtk-greeter into the live overlay (pacman -Syu, not -S: the overlay's package database is the image's and mirrors have rotated those versions out), configures autologin -> i3 exactly like the host, turns tty1 back into a plain getty, reboots the guest and proves lightdm.service is active with an Xorg it owns. Never rebuilds the base: `vm build --force` re-seals a new checksum while every existing sandbox still backs onto the old file's name, which is silent qcow2 corruption. - `vm shim <name> <tool> [exit[:N]|hang|sleep:S]`: a fake tool ahead of the real one on PATH, every call logged with an epoch to /var/log/vmbox-shim/<tool>.log so the host can assert what ran and in what order. `hang` is the openrgb 1.0-2 that never returned on 2026-09-12 and defeated the curfew. - The DISPLAY/XAUTHORITY resolver `vm run` sources becomes its own file, guest/vmbox-x11.sh, installed by the image build and re-installed by the lightdm switch; it now tests readability, not existence, and tries ~/.Xauthority before the startx serverauth glob, because lightdm's Xorg -auth file is root-only. - README: the worked example uses MIDNIGHT_SHUTDOWN_CONFIRM=y (the installer refuses to run unattended now; `echo y |` no longer works), and the "i2c RGB stays on the host" line is gone. - bats: four host-side tests for shim.sh (exit, exit:N, hang, refusals).
