[00:20] :) [10:54] hi, je cherche soit un canal IRC GRUB soit personnes connaissant bien GRUB pour programmer une ouverture par défaut spécifique. Merci [11:47] Hi [14:21] Hiyas [16:13] BobJonkman: Are there any ubuntu-on-a-netbook experts here? [16:15] Hi Amgine - There are a lot of ubuntu-on-a-netbook *users* in here. But sadly, I'm not (yet) one of them [16:15] [16:15] Some of them might be experts -- what problems are you experiencing? [16:16] Well, I'm doing some quick research for a client who is interested in possibly doing research using netbooks - possibly leading to a hundred or so units. [16:17] The question is: could we set up a ubuntu netbook to only allow use of a browser, and that so it would only go to a specific, pre-set url? [16:17] (doing surveys in secondary schools) [16:17] So you need a "what works, what doesn't, what's good, what's bad" list? [16:17] Ah. [16:18] That's probably more of a browser feature [16:18] Right, but is it possible to create a user which only has access to [browser that does this]? [16:19] Does the browser "kiosk" feature meet your needs? "kiosk" full-screens the browser, and supposedly disables many of the keystrokes that provide access to the OS [16:19] Yes, it would. I don [16:20] 't think there's anything in the survey that even requires a keyboard - all mouse/trackpad and click. [16:20] Without having tried it myself, I would suggest creating a user account with almost no access at all, having it auto-login, launch the browser at startup in kiosk mode [16:21] Excellent! looks exactly like what is needed. [16:21] Great! thanks Bob! [16:22] There's probably a way to start the browser as a system daemon, preventing user-level access to "Close", &c. [16:26] [16:29] * BluesKaj wonders about google OS ...I thoyght it was being dev'd for netbook computing in the so called "cloud"
