Cursor Environment Variable is not toggling about xserver

[nucleardreamer]

Hi @gardlt , I wasn't able to reproduce that (by changing env vars in the compose file). How are you setting environment variables right now?

I made a branch that changes the xinitrc script to add a bash shebang line, maybe the script wasn't correctly converting the variable check into a string? Why don't you go ahead and try it out to tell me if you see a difference: https://github.com/balenablocks/xserver/tree/cursor-variable-toggle

I try to deploy these changes and the cursor is still showing.

We are currently running
balenaOS : balenaOS 2.83.18+rev1
Release: Production

I found a workaround that does work, by updating the entry.sh

CURSOR env var doesn't toggle for me as well.
A tried both: docker-compose and balena portal defenition.

I think it is because it is hardcoded on Dockerfile.template file.

[nucleardreamer]

@ngmartins the CURSOR variable is set in the Dockerfile as the default option, it will be overridden if set anywhere else

[nucleardreamer]

I am unable to reproduce this issue at all still. Setting CURSOR in the docker-compose.yml, on balena dashboard device or fleet variables all have the same result.

For anyone seeing this, it's important to make sure you have all capitol CURSOR as the environment name, and no quotes around true or false values.
