| Tekeo | anyone here got the possability to answer a few questions? | 12:58 |
|---|---|---|
| Tekeo | well... | 01:04 |
| Tekeo | is it possible to integrate the desktop computers with edubuntu to storages (user specified) of the windows network? | 01:05 |
| Tekeo | *on | 01:05 |
| Tekeo | pleait would be really nice with answers plz | 01:08 |
| Vego | Are you asking if edubuntu can use a Windows server as homedirs for users? | 01:13 |
| Tekeo | yes | 01:13 |
| Tekeo | you know user specified storages on the network | 01:13 |
| === spacey [n=herman@a82-93-13-195.adsl.xs4all.nl] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| Vego | I'm not too famliar with Edubuntus setup, but I would guess they use NFS, and not SMB (windows share system) for home directories by default. | 01:14 |
| spacey | is there a way to globally disable all screensavers except blank screen? | 01:14 |
| === ogra_ibook [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| Vego | But it is possible to set up homedirs on samba mounts, i.e. windows shares. | 01:15 |
| Vego | How you do this, I'm not too familiar, as its ages since I had to do it. | 01:15 |
| Tekeo | well I want user X to get access to ONLY user X storage on the windows network | 01:15 |
| Tekeo | so that's possible? | 01:16 |
| Vego | Tekeo: What you can do is look at smbmount. | 01:16 |
| Vego | But I'd guess someone somewhere has done something similar on Edubuntu. On #Debian-Edu several teachers have to mix linux and windows | 01:18 |
| Vego | Best bet to find out would be to ask on the mailinglists. | 01:18 |
| Tekeo | ok | 01:19 |
| Vego | I myself mount up my university homedirs fra windows servers to my Ubuntu desktop, so yes, it is possible. | 01:19 |
| Vego | But how to do it smart, and genereically for all users, I don't know. | 01:20 |
| Vego | fra = from | 01:20 |
| Tekeo | ok | 01:20 |
| Tekeo | because the situation is this: there is a computer room which only 1/3 of the schools students should have access to and there are like windows 95/08/xp etc on the computer and still those other 2/3 got access there | 01:22 |
| Tekeo | *computers | 01:22 |
| Tekeo | and then ofcource money matters | 01:23 |
| Tekeo | so a switch to linux would be really nice | 01:23 |
| Vego | If you are considdering a swtich, you should talk to a local support group or company that supports different GNU/linux solutions. Alternatively, use quite a bit of time to set yourself into GNU/Linux. | 01:29 |
| Vego | Which is the best, in every case. | 01:29 |
| Vego | The more you know, the easier it is to make it work seamlessly. | 01:30 |

| spacey | can someone enlighten me on the way to add systemwide stuff to the gnome menu? | 04:54 |
| spacey | just adding the .desktop icons is not enough | 04:54 |
| spacey | you need to register them somewhere | 04:54 |
| spacey | but i cannot find where | 04:54 |
| spacey | at most I found some undocumented scripts which seem to do this | 04:55 |
| spacey | ogra: ? someone else? | 04:55 |
| === spacey cries in despair | ||
| ogra | putting them to /usr/share/applications should suffice | 04:57 |
| spacey | doesn't work | 04:57 |
| spacey | update-desktop-database --help | 04:57 |
| spacey | is not really helpful | 04:57 |
| ogra | then the contents of the .desktop file might be wrong | 04:57 |
| spacey | I created the .desktop files with the menu editor | 04:58 |
| ogra | it works to copy them there without running update-desktop-database | 04:58 |
| spacey | and they work for 1 user | 04:58 |
| spacey | but even if i copy ~/.local to another user | 04:58 |
| spacey | it doesn't work | 04:58 |
| ogra | look into th efile | 04:58 |
| ogra | (paste it anywhere) | 04:59 |
| spacey | i don't understand how it determines the category in the menu either | 05:00 |
| spacey | but it works | 05:00 |
| spacey | somehow | 05:00 |
| spacey | for that one user | 05:00 |
| spacey | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9363 | 05:03 |
| lucasvo | what do you think, is it good publicity for a commercial company to have an oss project? | 05:04 |
| lucasvo | hm, actually it is the strategy from canonical ;-P | 05:04 |
| spacey | lucasvo: all depends on how they handle the project i guess;p | 05:05 |
| === dsaa [n=dsaa@210.1.92.55] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| ogra | spacey, youre missing category entries ... | 05:06 |
| spacey | yeah i noticed | 05:06 |
| spacey | but still a bit wierd | 05:07 |
| ogra | als dont use spaces in such filenames | 05:07 |
| ogra | nautilus will show you the name inside the file, no need to make the filename overcomplicated ... | 05:07 |
| ogra | additionally, dont use paths for icons | 05:08 |
| spacey | if you want a subdirectory you can just specify Category in a .directory file | 05:08 |
| spacey | hmm | 05:08 |
| spacey | just the filename of the icon i see in other .desktop files | 05:09 |
| ogra | thats wrong ... | 05:09 |
| ogra | the spac forbids pathnames to make it possible to theme the icons | 05:09 |
| spacey | ok | 05:10 |
| spacey | thats nice | 05:10 |
| ogra | (might not be really important for selfmade custom icons) | 05:10 |
| spacey | X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-menus | 05:11 |
| spacey | that needed? | 05:11 |
| ogra | thats only for apps in main | 05:11 |
| spacey | oh ok | 05:11 |
| ogra | its used by the language pack generator | 05:11 |
| spacey | its a .directory btw | 05:11 |
| spacey | ok | 05:11 |
| ogra | in any case the category entry should let the icon appear magically in your menu :) | 05:12 |
| ogra | (systemwide) | 05:12 |
| spacey | yeah but it needs its own category | 05:14 |
| spacey | to seperate it from the rest | 05:14 |
| spacey | i'm gonna edit the files a bit | 05:14 |
| spacey | and try again | 05:14 |
| spacey | http://users.lichtsnel.nl/~spacey/files/menu/ | 05:24 |
| spacey | should this work | 05:24 |
| spacey | ? | 05:24 |
| spacey | ogra:) | 05:24 |
| ogra | try it, i never added a toplevel category ... | 05:25 |
| spacey | doesn't seem to | 05:25 |
| spacey | ;x | 05:25 |
| spacey | nope doesn't work | 05:26 |
| === C-O-L-T [n=hunika@193.231.163.10] has joined #edubuntu | ||
| spacey | but it has something to do with the Category stuff | 05:30 |
| spacey | if i put it in Category Office it shows up | 05:30 |

| ogra | /etc/menu-xdg or something ? | 05:52 |
