| Elementary-Schoo | hi, first time doing this, please excuse any faux pas. Installing precise for a group of 1st grade classrooms. Have windows share server. Need easy way for kids to login to their windows share. Possible to use GUI (File > Connect to server > ip addr, share, username, group, password), but looking for easy way for 1st graders to input just username/password. Thanks. | 20:30 |

| highvoltage | hi Elementary-Schoo | 20:33 |
| highvoltage | it's possible to create a bookmark in their file browser for that network share | 20:33 |
| * highvoltage sees if there's any documentation for that somewhere | 20:33 | |
| Elementary-Schoo | Thanks highvoltage :-) I can create a bookmark once I login to a specific share. I don't know how to create a bookmark for a generic login that will then ask the 1st grader for his/her username and password. | 20:37 |
| highvoltage | Elementary-Schoo: I couldn't find a nice doc, just starting up a VM right now where I can try it out and let you know... | 20:39 |
| Elementary-Schoo | You are a god-send :-) Thanks! | 20:40 |
| highvoltage | Elementary-Schoo: when you create a bookmark for a user, | 20:43 |
| highvoltage | Elementary-Schoo: it goes into the file called .config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks | 20:44 |
| highvoltage | Elementary-Schoo: so if you set up one user with the bookmarks that you'd like in there, you can create a directory called /etc/skel/.config/gtk-3.0 and put that bookmarks file in there | 20:44 |
| highvoltage | so basically: | 20:44 |
| highvoltage | 1. set up a user with the bookmarks you'd like | 20:45 |
| highvoltage | sudo mkdir /etc/skel/.config/gtk-3.0 | 20:45 |
| highvoltage | cp .config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks /etc/skel/.config/gtk-3.0 | 20:45 |
| highvoltage | then when you create new users they'd have that bookmark | 20:45 |
| highvoltage | for existing users you would just have to place that file there | 20:46 |
| Elementary-Schoo | Okay! I'll give it a shot. Thank you soooo much! I might be back for more hints (not too tech savvy). | 20:47 |
| highvoltage | no problem. these questions are useful, I think we should have a tool that does things like that for you. | 20:48 |
| Elementary-Schoo | Hi, I'm back. I couldn't find .config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks, but I did find .gtk-bookmarks in my home folder. In .gtk-bookmarks, there is a location of an existing bookmark. So I was thinking, is there a way that I could use that location in a script? | 21:29 |
