| coz_ | hey guys.... I am noticing on edubuntu/lucid menus dont always refresh with newly installed applications...something I havent seen for a few years...there use to be a command similar to update-menus in the past ...is something like that still available? | 08:56 |
|---|---|---|
| markit | ltsp, how prevent thin clients to blank screen after some minutes of inactivity? I've kubuntu and was not able to do, wondering how is done with gnome | 18:37 |
| highvoltage | markit: good question | 18:57 |
| markit | highvoltage: thanks, hope for a good answer ;) | 18:58 |
| highvoltage | heh :) | 18:58 |
| highvoltage | well I think in gnome you'll use gconf to configure that, but there's nothing like that in kde | 18:59 |
| highvoltage | I think there is an lts.conf setting, not sure if it will work on kde, but if it doesn't, I guessyou could ask on #kubuntu | 18:59 |
| markit | what does gconf do? because kde has the possibility to have "global config" files, the ones I'm using right now | 18:59 |
| highvoltage | markit: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man5/lts.conf.5.html | 19:00 |
| markit | the problem is that I can't understand where they will act... | 19:00 |
| markit | I mean,the program is run on the server | 19:00 |
| highvoltage | on that page, it describes a setting for X_BLANKING | 19:00 |
| markit | let me check | 19:00 |
| highvoltage | not sure if that will do what you want | 19:00 |
| highvoltage | yeah, I guess if that blanking you're getting is kde-specific, then someone on #kubuntu would most likely be able to help you | 19:01 |
| highvoltage | I just haven't used KDE in a long time | 19:01 |
| markit | #kubuntu people don't use ltsp, seems | 19:02 |
| markit | and #ltsp say "use gnome" | 19:02 |
| markit | but I don't understand how the config is intended to work, being gnome or kde | 19:03 |
| highvoltage | markit: if it's kde blanking the screen, then it probably wouldn't matter if you use ltsp or not | 19:04 |
| highvoltage | just ask how you'd do it on a local machine and do it the same on your ltsp server, it should work | 19:05 |
| markit | this is the problem | 19:05 |
| markit | I can do in local machine with systemsettings "power saving" features | 19:05 |
| markit | but once I login as client, I've not available the same way | 19:05 |
| markit | and in any case seem they do no difference | 19:05 |
| markit | even if I copy config files | 19:06 |
| markit | that's why I ask how is it done in gnome | 19:06 |
| markit | because, in any case, gconf works on SERVER config files | 19:07 |
| markit | while ltsp is just a X-Window server | 19:07 |
| markit | so those config should not affect the client | 19:07 |
| markit | s/ltsp/ltsp-client | 19:07 |
| highvoltage | markit: are you running anything as local apps? if not, it should really work the same. did you try the lts.conf setting? | 19:28 |
| stgraber | ogra: ping | 23:45 |
