[10:54] <houpiti> hi, je cherche soit un canal IRC GRUB soit personnes connaissant bien GRUB pour programmer une ouverture par défaut spécifique. Merci
[11:47] <ule> Hi
[14:21] <BluesKaj> Hiyas
[16:13] <Amgine> BobJonkman: Are there any ubuntu-on-a-netbook experts here?
[16:15] <BobJonkman> 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] <BobJonkman> Some of them might be experts -- what problems are you experiencing?
[16:16] <Amgine> 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] <Amgine> 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] <Amgine> (doing surveys in secondary schools)
[16:17] <BobJonkman> So you need a "what works, what doesn't, what's good, what's bad" list?
[16:17] <BobJonkman> Ah.
[16:18] <BobJonkman> That's probably more of a browser feature
[16:18] <Amgine> Right, but is it possible to create a user which only has access to [browser that does this]?
[16:19] <BobJonkman> 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] <Amgine> Yes, it would. I don
[16:20] <Amgine> 't think there's anything in the survey that even requires a keyboard - all mouse/trackpad and click.
[16:20] <BobJonkman> 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
 Excellent! looks exactly like what is needed.
[16:21] <Amgine> Great! thanks Bob! <continues mtg w/client, I love IRC>
[16:22] <BobJonkman> There's probably a way to start the browser as a system daemon, preventing user-level access to "Close", &c.

[16:29]  * BluesKaj wonders about google OS ...I thoyght it was being dev'd for netbook computing in the so called "cloud"
