| yoshi__ | hi everyone | 13:27 |
|---|---|---|
| Ahmuck | how is edubuntu or ltsp coming in setting defaults for desktops. ie screen resolution, firefox pref, etc. | 17:10 |
| Nubae | not sure what you mean Ahmuck | 17:12 |
| Ahmuck | not having the time, i have not set down and went through the docs to locate setting the min resolution for the thin clients. as a result, the thin client is opening up at the highest resolution of the video card which nobody can read | 17:17 |
| Ahmuck | so i have to go in and set each client when someone logs in | 17:18 |
| Ahmuck | but a gui to do a system wide configuration would be nice | 17:18 |
| Ahmuck | and turning off notices to the clients would be nice as well. print notices, update notices, etc. | 17:18 |
| Nubae | well with ltsp u can set it in lts.conf | 17:18 |
| Nubae | just set [default] to the desired res | 17:18 |
| Ahmuck | Nubae: would you recommend cedega for windows programs? | 17:42 |
| Nubae | no, crossover | 17:43 |
| Nubae | cedega is for games | 17:43 |
| Nubae | hi Lns | 18:24 |
| Lns | hey Nubae | 18:24 |
| yoshi__ | hi everyone, i planning to use xfce as window manager with ltsp on edubuntu, since we are implementing the ltsp solution in a big school, is this a good and stable choice ? | 19:23 |
| yoshi__ | the reason not to use gnome is because you can lock down xfce much easier, since sabayon for gnome is not working out , or are there any other options to lock down the gnome desktop on a user base ? | 19:24 |
| Guest60212 | test | 19:29 |
| Guest16709 | is this a ubuntu forum? | 20:00 |
| Guest16709 | anybody home? | 20:01 |
| alkisg | !ask | 20:01 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 20:01 |
| Lns | Guest16709: this is an edubuntu channel | 20:01 |
| Guest16709 | would you happen to know how to install a software I downloaded off the internet? there is no read me | 20:03 |
| Guest60212 | hi everyone little question, i want to use AWN to show on the desktop with a specific set of application launchers for a group teachers that logs in to ltsp. Is this possible ? | 20:47 |
| Lns | Guest60212: i dunno about awn but you might want to look at edubuntu-menus | 21:01 |
| Guest60212 | tx for the advice | 21:05 |
| Guest60212 | is it stable enough to use in produktion ? | 21:05 |
| Guest60212 | and can i use with witch XFCE as desktop instead of gnome | 21:06 |
| Lns | Guest60212: afaik it utilizes xdg so it should be cross-wm | 21:07 |
| Guest60212 | ok nice, iam gonna check it out, i see here also it will be include in 9.04 :) | 21:08 |
| Guest60212 | we are testing with XFCE because you can lock down the desktop very easy, shame that sabayon isn't working properly :( | 21:08 |
| Lns | Guest60212: fairly easy to do w/gconf in gnome | 21:09 |
| Lns | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/GnomeOptimize | 21:10 |
| Guest60212 | yes saw that also | 21:11 |
| Guest60212 | but we are dealing with around 1000 students | 21:11 |
| Guest60212 | different ages different groups | 21:11 |
| Guest60212 | and they are smart kids who search for an entry in sometimes | 21:12 |
| Guest60212 | so we have to be sure their desktop is totaly secured and locked | 21:12 |
| Guest60212 | mmm gconf is very powerfull | 21:22 |
| Guest60212 | we are gonna look into that all so, tx for the advice ! | 21:22 |
| Lns | Guest60212: np.. i've found it's fairly easy to lock down gnome with that info and a few other non-wm specific things (some also in the wiki) | 21:27 |
| Lns | s/wm/de | 21:28 |
