[01:04] well... [01:05] is it possible to integrate the desktop computers with edubuntu to storages (user specified) of the windows network? [01:05] *on [01:08] pleait would be really nice with answers plz [01:13] Are you asking if edubuntu can use a Windows server as homedirs for users? [01:13] yes [01:13] you know user specified storages on the network === spacey [n=herman@a82-93-13-195.adsl.xs4all.nl] has joined #edubuntu [01:14] 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] is there a way to globally disable all screensavers except blank screen? === ogra_ibook [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #edubuntu [01:15] But it is possible to set up homedirs on samba mounts, i.e. windows shares. [01:15] How you do this, I'm not too familiar, as its ages since I had to do it. [01:15] well I want user X to get access to ONLY user X storage on the windows network [01:16] so that's possible? [01:16] Tekeo: What you can do is look at smbmount. [01:18] 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] Best bet to find out would be to ask on the mailinglists. [01:19] ok [01:19] I myself mount up my university homedirs fra windows servers to my Ubuntu desktop, so yes, it is possible. [01:20] But how to do it smart, and genereically for all users, I don't know. [01:20] fra = from [01:20] ok [01:22] 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] *computers [01:23] and then ofcource money matters [01:23] so a switch to linux would be really nice [01:29] 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] Which is the best, in every case. [01:30] The more you know, the easier it is to make it work seamlessly. === karu [n=gc@24-159-151-16.dhcp.smrt.tn.charter.com] has joined #edubuntu === karu is now known as karU [01:46] Hello... === ogra_ibook [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #edubuntu [01:48] hello ogra [01:49] Anyone, I wanted to install edubuntu on an older pc today and wanted to know if this would be an appropriate chat room to turn to if I had any probs?

[04:54] just adding the .desktop icons is not enough [04:54] you need to register them somewhere [04:54] but i cannot find where [04:55] at most I found some undocumented scripts which seem to do this [04:55] ogra: ? someone else? === spacey cries in despair [04:57] putting them to /usr/share/applications should suffice [04:57] doesn't work [04:57] update-desktop-database --help [04:57] is not really helpful [04:57] then the contents of the .desktop file might be wrong [04:58] I created the .desktop files with the menu editor [04:58] it works to copy them there without running update-desktop-database [04:58] and they work for 1 user [04:58] but even if i copy ~/.local to another user [04:58] it doesn't work [04:58] look into th efile [04:59] (paste it anywhere) [05:00] i don't understand how it determines the category in the menu either [05:00] but it works [05:00] somehow [05:00] for that one user [05:03] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9363 [05:04] what do you think, is it good publicity for a commercial company to have an oss project?

[05:06] yeah i noticed [05:07] but still a bit wierd [05:07] als dont use spaces in such filenames [05:07] nautilus will show you the name inside the file, no need to make the filename overcomplicated ... [05:08] additionally, dont use paths for icons [05:08] if you want a subdirectory you can just specify Category in a .directory file [05:08] hmm [05:09] just the filename of the icon i see in other .desktop files [05:09] thats wrong ... [05:09] the spac forbids pathnames to make it possible to theme the icons [05:10] ok [05:10] thats nice [05:10] (might not be really important for selfmade custom icons) [05:11] X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-menus [05:11] that needed? [05:11] thats only for apps in main [05:11] oh ok [05:11] its used by the language pack generator [05:11] its a .directory btw [05:11] ok [05:12] in any case the category entry should let the icon appear magically in your menu :) [05:12] (systemwide) [05:14] yeah but it needs its own category [05:14] to seperate it from the rest [05:14] i'm gonna edit the files a bit [05:14] and try again [05:24] http://users.lichtsnel.nl/~spacey/files/menu/ [05:24] should this work [05:24] ?
