IODaddIOmorning....I have multiple computers at home.  most are ubuntu, but I have 2 windows and 2 macs.  Is there a way though ubuntu or ubuntu server to make something that works like what we have at work where I have single login to linux, mac, windows?  I think guy at work said something about active directory, but I thought that was only for windows?14:25
holsteinIODaddIO: single login for what?14:26
holsteini mean, if you have the same user and password on all the machines, thats the same credentials per machine14:26
IODaddIOwell, I have been assigning them a computer up to now; but that is getting sloppy since somethings just don't run on mac or linux.  I need to be able to control internet access for each user differently and if there is a way, I need to restrict using certain programs too (although internet is more important in home situations of course)14:30
holsteinhttp://serverfault.com/questions/13419/what-are-some-good-open-source-alternatives-to-active-directory14:30
holsteini agree that samba mostly does what you are looking for, and at least used to be integrated in OSX14:30
holsteinIODaddIO: if i wanted to "control" internet access, i would do that at the gateway in an OS agnostic way, if i had different OS's14:31
holsteinrestricting programs will be on a per machine basis14:31
IODaddIOholstein: k, differing levels of maturity is the problem.  We had our first google search for "boob" if you know what I mean ;)14:32
holsteini would try and get as clear a picture of what you want as you can.. and go from there14:32
holsteinIODaddIO: sure.. and there are *easy* services such as openDNS's family shield14:33
IODaddIOit maybe easier to control on user14:33
holsteinyou put that on the router/gateway, and *all* machines have that14:33
holsteinor, you can do it on a per machine basis via DNS14:33

holsteinmost user permissions scenarios in linux are going to be mostly like OSX14:35
holsteinwindows is getter "better" at this as well..14:35

rostamHi the pthread library in Ubuntu 12.04 is located at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux  for 64 bit and /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu for 32 bit.   I am creating multi-threaded application, how could I write a generic linker command so it link to appropriate library? thx19:37
holsteinrostam: i would try a more programming specific channel19:37
rostamthx19:38
brunosthi! can anybody help me figure out how i can get nautilus to generate thumbnails on images stored on a mounted network folder?22:19
brunostI'm using ubuntu gnome 13.04 btw22:19
brunostsorry, I mean on folders containing images, not the actual image22:21
Unit193If I were you, I think I'd try #ubuntu-gnome22:22
brunostI thought a general nautilus related question would fit in here too22:24
Unit193It would, but I've not used it for quite some times, you are free to wait for an answer though!22:25
brunostthanks! I think I figured it out though, doesn't seem like it does it by default but there are thumbnailer scripts for it22:28
