[11:22] Hi - I've installed edubuntu on a reject PC (1800+ Athlon, 256MB RAM, 40GB HDD) and I've actually installed xfce-desktop package and am running xfce because gnome is a bit sluggish [11:23] I'm going to donate the machine to a nursery/preschool so I wanted some way of having a launcher with really big buttons for the common apps (like gcompris, tuxpaint etc) [11:23] Any good ideas? [11:23] Currently thinking either really big desktop icons or maybe wbar [11:33] thee are various idesk, pcmanfm come to mind [12:09] pcmanfm is an interesting idea [12:10] For desktop icons you mean? [12:11] I'm not sure that either give me anything that the xfce desktop doesn't already, unless I'm being thick [12:11] yup [12:11] well, right, ideed you can just use xfce as well :) [12:11] i was just pointing out alternatives [12:11] Yeah, i use openbox myself - and i do find myself missing desktop icons a bit [12:12] i'm still finding software that i like, so have used rox a bit which can also do a pinboard [12:12] But idesk looks neat as it's not tied to a fm [12:12] And I still can't commit to fm :) [12:13] But I think for the job in question something more launcher-ish, like a panel quick launch, or wbar, or even something like the stuff they put on the eee would be good [12:13] Although I dont like it myself awn would be good but I think it would kill that pc [12:14] wbar is light [12:15] Hmm i think I'll try out idesk on my own box.. thanks for the pointer [12:15] :) [12:16] Something like the xp start menu where you could pin some apps and where it remembered commonly used ones would also be good [12:16] I've seen some alternative application menus for gnome but not yet liked any of them or found them stable [12:56] Hi I have a set of scripts that make a CUPS printer that emails whatever was printed, anyone interested ? [16:40] ogra: I just made that italc-inchroot thing works correctly here :) [16:40] so you can now have ica running on all thin clients [16:40] and have the italc interface running on the server connect to them [16:40] * ogra dances [16:40] yay [16:40] then when starting a demo, only the link between the two ica (thin clients) will be started without using any server ressource (localapps kind of thing :)) [16:41] demo should now be CPU free for the server [16:42] and in some cases better for the network as well, as it's now a VNC connection you have instead of the X11 traffic you had and it'll stay in the classroom without killing the servers network [17:03] anyone around [17:20] yo [17:32] anyone around === |hfsdo| is now known as hfsdo [19:18] Hello, I want to know how I can re-install GRUB from Edubuntu 7.10 CD? [22:22] anybody around? When my thin client tries to boot, it hangs on the USB hid-core.c driver loading. If I disable the USB on the motherboard, no problem. Wht to do?
