[00:07] can anyone help with a menueditor problem, please? [08:13] anyone know how to force profiles for students? === ChrisB is now known as Guest98744 [17:02] after install edubuntu14.04 gnome-classic i cant change client-menu. why does the Edubuntu-Menu-Editor-Profile-Manager never work? in 12.04 all was fine. but now, whatever i try, the thinclients get the full menu. please help [17:02] DE [17:13] I-Punkt, I am having the same problem. I have been trying for days to solve. [17:14] you have to sudo apt-get install python-gconf [17:14] to get menu-editor to start [17:15] question I-Punkt what do you have to do after you assign the group in profile manager? [17:17] i import the edited menu-profile and pull it over the group. then i save it. thats all i have done [17:18] and it just works when the user logs in, I-Punkt? [17:19] I-Punkt, do you have any notes on file location or anything special you had to do to get it to work? [17:19] it does not work. no errors. all looks good, but if thinclients connect, the user got the big menu [17:20] gconf is missing in python [17:20] you have to install python-gconf [17:20] i try python-gconf [17:21] this is what i have done sudo apt-get install python-gmenu kommander gksu [17:21] sudo ln -s /usr/bin/kommander /usr/bin/kmdr-executor [17:21] sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libkommanderwidgets.so.4 /usr/lib/libkommanderwidgets.so [17:21] sudo chmod +x /usr/share/desktop-profiles/kommander-scripts/profile-manager.kmdr [17:22] what did that do for you? [17:22] nothing, i think. this is what i found in the net [17:22] sorry, my english... [17:23] did you do any of that for 12.04? [17:23] apt say python-gconf is up to date [17:23] no, in 12.04 all works. but it is long ago [17:23] try menueditor from the terminal. you can see any errors on start [17:23] now i try 14.04 and nothing works in menu [17:24] open menu and save a blank archive first [17:24] menueditor starts with no errors [17:24] open menu-editor and save a blank archive first [17:25] what you mean blank? all entries off and than save? [17:25] when I was opening menu-editor there was nothing there [17:26] waht filetype i have to save? testmenu.tar.gz? [17:26] so I tried saving an empty archive and after I closed and open menu-editor again all of the applications were there [17:26] yes [17:28] the terminal does not show errors. finaly i saved a testmenu.tar.gz and finished. no errors. [17:30] i think i found a error. i extract the testmenu.tar.gz. inside i found 2 folders but nothing inside. [17:31] folder 1 share the second called xdg [17:32] no file and no hidden files in the sufolders. [17:34] that is the reason. the menueditor save the menu.tar.gz but there is no configfile inside. whats now? [17:34] try closinf menu-editor and then open it again [17:35] try closing [17:36] in the last few minutes i have try it 3 times with differnent archive-names and extract it. everytime the same. subfolders without configfiles. [17:36] hmmm [17:36] so when you opened menu-editor could you see the applications [17:38] yes. all apps are there and i can check boxes. i uncheck many of them, hit save -> test.tar.gz. no errors posted in terminal. archive is ok, but without configfiles [17:38] the first archive I made I put into /etc/menueditor I think [17:39] hold on [17:42] I-Punkt, yeah your right mine doesn't have conf files either [17:42] hold on more files were created let me find them [17:43] in /etc/edubuntu-menueditor i find a folder called testmenu. the profile-manager seems to work, but without configfiles in the menu-tar there will be no changes for the clients. [17:45] look in /etc/desktop-profiles there should be some .listing files there [17:47] yes. the second called testuser-testmenu.listing. but the menu-tar is buggy and thatswhy this configfile has only a few lines [17:47] nothing that looks like my changes. [17:49] connection fail? [17:49] I-Punkt, sorry power went out here [17:49] 18:47:15 - I-Punkt: yes. the second called testuser-testmenu.listing. but the menu-tar is buggy and thatswhy this configfile has only a few lines [17:49] 18:47:44 - I-Punkt: nothing that looks like my changes. [17:50] you are correct my archive file is blank also. directories but no conf files [17:51] how can i get a example *.listing? if i see how it looks like maybe i can create my own menu.listing. i think there is a bug in menueditor [17:51] whats now? [17:52] without configfiles the profilemanager dont make changes in clientmenu [17:52] that same folder has the default .listing [17:54] inside these file is nothing tha looks like menu-apps [17:56] what can i do now? what you think. i would try to install a 12.04-VM and create a menu.tar.gz. if this works i can import this in 14.04. [17:57] there is an application you can install that will track all file changes I am rtying to remember the name of it [18:01] tripwire, I-Punkt you could intall the 12.04 system and tripwire and then you could see every file that changes as you make your new profile [18:02] then maybe we could figure out what is missing in 14.04, maybe even fix it [18:02] sounds good [18:03] i witch country u live? [18:03] us [18:03] you are in germany right [18:03] yes and here ist evening. [18:03] lol [18:04] its sunday morning here [18:04] actually sunday afternoon [18:04] 7pm. its too late to make a vm with 12.04 now. iǘe to take my thins to bed.
