[14:21] <highvoltage> mhall119: gnome is now in a much better state on the new daily builds
[14:47] <mhall119> highvoltage: is it still 2.x?
[14:50] <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)
[14:53] <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
[15:48] <jinxer007> Hi all
[15:49] <highvoltage> hey jinxer007
[15:50] <jinxer007> just want to pick some ones brains about a way to set up globle homepage and book marks under chrome
[15:51] <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)
[15:52] <mgariepy> if you find a fix for chromium, i'm interested ;)
[15:52] <mgariepy> jinxer007, with firefox it's fairly easy
[15:53] <jinxer007> coool have any good weblink guide 4 that
[15:56] <jinxer007> would be helpful as rocking back and 4th hunting forums for a how 2 on firefox now :)
[15:57] <mgariepy> hmm i can point you to the files but i don't think there is any documentation for the speceficly.
[15:58] <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
[15:59] <mgariepy> files in pref/ are loaded when firefox starts, file in profile are loaded only when firefox create new profile
[16:00] <jinxer007> yep i see them
[16:01] <mgariepy> you should have a firefox.js in /etc/firefox/pref/
[16:01] <jinxer007> in gedit now
[16:02] <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");
[16:03] <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()
[16:04] <mgariepy> by using lockPref() instead of pref()
[16:04] <mgariepy> if it doesn't work, just let me know :)
[16:05] <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 :)
[16:07] <jinxer007> Ok I do think its worth me signing up here its a dam site easyer than the forums :)
[16:08] <mgariepy> for the bookmarks, i have done this in recent version
[16:09] <mgariepy> i remember doing it in version 2.X but not for version 3.X
[16:11] <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
[16:12] <jinxer007> will take a look at that, thanks for the help on that :)
[16:12] <mgariepy> where i based  ?
[16:13] <mgariepy> i live in sherbrooke,quebec,canada if it's the question :S
[16:13] <jinxer007> lol yep it was, multi tasking lol hence why it do not sound right lol
[16:14] <jinxer007> hampshire UK here.
[16:14] <mgariepy> if you have a few minutes to add a page in edubuntu wiki about the firefox preferences i guess it would be great
[16:16] <mgariepy> maybe create a subpage here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/
[16:16] <jinxer007> yep, will do :)
[16:16] <mgariepy> here are some basic information about it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/Firefox3Optimize
