[15:12] <nubae> Even though this is really a very genral linux thing, I feel like I found the last puzzle to get an LTSP server running AOK no matter what the system has gone through
[15:14] <nubae> for years I would have this issue where some people log on, yet others couldn't
[15:14] <nubae> it wasnt fuze issue
[15:14] <nubae> and it wasnt  a /home/dir ownershp problem either
[15:16] <nubae> I must have pent man weeks after weeks trying to get olde users to log back in without aval.
[15:16] <nubae> Adding a new one cause no issue so that puzzled me more
[15:17] <nubae> Then tjere were cruptic X messages depending on the mood if the server
[15:22] <nubae> lo and behold.... I did what I had been dreading for years... I cleaned the DB by hand, /etc/passwd open in one file, /etc/group in another and the gui in yet another
[15:23] <alkisg> nubae: man pwck
[15:23] <nubae> one would think that somehow a type of synchronsation would happen here
[15:23] <nubae> well... there was none
[15:24] <nubae> other than, if i save in group or passwd it would reflect in gui
[15:25] <nubae> get gui then made everyone administrator and disabled options
[15:25] <nubae> in other words the gui was no good only for changing passwords
[15:26] <nubae> fortunately linux internal logic did not allow all uses to be sysadmins
[15:27] <nubae> but conclusion: user and group gui is ver very srewed up
[15:28] <nubae> i know w've been looking for agoodgui/user/group, is there reallt nothing better than this?
[15:29] <nubae> btw tested on virgin system too
[17:37] <triunity> Good morning
[17:39] <triunity> I have a question, I am running edubuntu live, and testing out LTSP, I got everything working but when the Thin Client loads, it has nothing.  No way to access Programs, just a bar at the top, but none of those allow the student to get to applications
[17:39] <triunity> I logged in using one of the LTSP users it had in the system...
[17:40] <triunity> Any idea on what I am doing wrong?
[17:41] <triunity> To test, i created a file on the desktop of the client, and put the word firefox inside.  Saved the file, marked it as executable, and then ran it.  It worked fine.  But the problem remains, that I dont want my students to need to create shell scripts to start firefox...
[17:42] <triunity> ... is there anyone even here?
