| highvoltage | mhall119: gnome is now in a much better state on the new daily builds | 14:21 |
|---|---|---|
| mhall119 | highvoltage: is it still 2.x? | 14:47 |
| highvoltage | mhall119: yeah, I guess it will be possible to do that qimo session stuff during the alpha 2 cycle then | 14:50 |
| highvoltage | (at least, I hope) | 14:50 |
| mhall119 | I'll be working on the new launcher for now, that'll do away with a big part of the gnome and xfce dependencies | 14:53 |
| jinxer007 | Hi all | 15:48 |
| highvoltage | hey jinxer007 | 15:49 |
| jinxer007 | just want to pick some ones brains about a way to set up globle homepage and book marks under chrome | 15:50 |
| jinxer007 | running Edubuntu LTSP, just want to role out the bookmarks to all accounts | 15:51 |
| stgraber | I know that mgariepy tried it but sadly without much success | 15:51 |
| jinxer007 | doh | 15:51 |
| stgraber | seems like something where firefox is still a lot better | 15:51 |
| mgariepy | hello | 15:51 |
| jinxer007 | any easyer in firefox | 15:51 |
| stgraber | mgariepy: (global bookmarks and home page in chromium) | 15:51 |
| mgariepy | if you find a fix for chromium, i'm interested ;) | 15:52 |
| mgariepy | jinxer007, with firefox it's fairly easy | 15:52 |
| jinxer007 | coool have any good weblink guide 4 that | 15:53 |
| jinxer007 | would be helpful as rocking back and 4th hunting forums for a how 2 on firefox now :) | 15:56 |
| mgariepy | hmm i can point you to the files but i don't think there is any documentation for the speceficly. | 15:57 |
| jinxer007 | lol cool yep that would be helpful if you can point me the right way :)# | 15:58 |
| mgariepy | on the thin client chroot, when having firefox installed, you have /etc/firefox/ directory | 15:58 |
| jinxer007 | yep | 15:58 |
| mgariepy | 2 directory are present in this, pref and profile | 15:58 |
| mgariepy | files in pref/ are loaded when firefox starts, file in profile are loaded only when firefox create new profile | 15:59 |
| jinxer007 | yep i see them | 16:00 |
| mgariepy | you should have a firefox.js in /etc/firefox/pref/ | 16:01 |
| jinxer007 | in gedit now | 16:01 |
| jinxer007 | on the firefox.js | 16:02 |
| mgariepy | pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://foo.com"); | 16:02 |
| mgariepy | pref("startup.homepage_override_url", "http://foo.com"); | 16:02 |
| mgariepy | pref("startup.homepage_welcome_url", "http://foo.com"); | 16:02 |
| mgariepy | pref("browser.startup.homepage_reset", "http://foo.com"); | 16:02 |
| mgariepy | if you add those, the homepage, if not set in the user profile, will be foo.com | 16:03 |
| mgariepy | you can also lock preferences | 16:03 |
| jinxer007 | great :) | 16:03 |
| mgariepy | by using lockPref*( instead of pref() | 16:03 |
| mgariepy | by using lockPref() instead of pref() | 16:04 |
| mgariepy | if it doesn't work, just let me know :) | 16:04 |
| mgariepy | if you want to personalize further, you can type: about:config in firefox and change any key value in this file | 16:05 |
| jinxer007 | cool one more question Mgariepy (or now called yoda) how about globle bookmarks :) | 16:05 |
| jinxer007 | Ok I do think its worth me signing up here its a dam site easyer than the forums :) | 16:07 |
| mgariepy | for the bookmarks, i have done this in recent version | 16:08 |
| mgariepy | i remember doing it in version 2.X but not for version 3.X | 16:09 |
| jinxer007 | so where u based Mgariepy | 16:11 |
| mgariepy | maybe you can load it in the profile, | 16:11 |
| mgariepy | overwrite the file /etc/firefox/profile/bookmarks.html | 16:11 |
| jinxer007 | will take a look at that, thanks for the help on that :) | 16:12 |
| mgariepy | where i based ? | 16:12 |
