[13:27] <yoshi__> hi everyone
[17:10] <Ahmuck> how is edubuntu or ltsp coming in setting defaults for desktops.  ie screen resolution, firefox pref, etc.
[17:12] <Nubae> not sure what you mean Ahmuck
[17:17] <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
[17:18] <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
[17:42] <Ahmuck> Nubae: would you recommend cedega for windows programs?
[17:43] <Nubae> no, crossover
[17:43] <Nubae> cedega is for games
[18:24] <Nubae> hi Lns
[18:24] <Lns> hey Nubae
[19:23] <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 ?
[19:24] <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 ?
[19:29] <Guest60212> test
[20:00] <Guest16709> is this a ubuntu forum?
[20:01] <Guest16709> anybody home?
[20:01] <alkisg> !ask
[20:01] <Lns> Guest16709: this is an edubuntu channel
[20:03] <Guest16709> would you happen to know how to install a software I downloaded off the internet? there is no read me
[20:47] <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 ?
[21:01] <Lns> Guest60212: i dunno about awn but you might want to look at edubuntu-menus
[21:05] <Guest60212> tx for the advice
[21:05] <Guest60212> is it stable enough to use in produktion ?
[21:06] <Guest60212> and can i use with witch XFCE as desktop instead of gnome
[21:07] <Lns> Guest60212: afaik it utilizes xdg so it should be cross-wm
[21:08] <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 :(
[21:09] <Lns> Guest60212: fairly easy to do w/gconf in gnome
[21:10] <Lns> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/GnomeOptimize
[21:11] <Guest60212> yes saw that also
[21:11] <Guest60212> but we are dealing with around 1000 students
[21:11] <Guest60212> different ages different groups
[21:12] <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
[21:22] <Guest60212> mmm gconf is very powerfull
[21:22] <Guest60212> we are gonna look into that all so, tx for the advice !
[21:27] <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)
