pavlushkaafternoon Kilos :)06:47
Kiloshaha06:48
pavlushkaanyone here running xubuntu?06:48
paddatrapperpavlushka: The question is more who here is actually running a flavour of Ubuntu :)06:52
pavlushkalol, this is #ubuntu-za channel! how irrelevant that could be, :p06:53
qwebirc28282good afternoon06:57
pavlushkapaddatrapper: but may be the actual scenario is that what you are describing.06:57
qwebirc28282No one wants to ask, how to lock the desktop background settings that can not be changed  in ubuntu. 06:57
qwebirc28282anyone can help me ?06:57
Kiloshi qwebirc28282 06:57
Kiloswhat do you need help with06:58
Kilosoh i see06:58
Kiloswhich release of ubuntu have you got06:58
qwebirc28282Ubuntu 12.1006:59
Kilosoh my thats so old07:00
qwebirc28282I also disposable Ubuntu 16:04lts07:00
Kiloshttp://www.complete-concrete-concise.com/ubuntu-2/ubuntu-12-04/ubuntu-12-04-how-to-lock-your-screen-computer07:01
qwebirc28282that's not what I mean ,,07:04
qwebirc28282the point is how do I prevent my desktop display image can not be changed07:04
Kiloshow is it changing07:04
Kilosare you the only one using it07:04
qwebirc28282I wanted to lock his desktop background so that other people can not change07:05
qwebirc28282can understand what I mean /07:07
Kilosyes im trying to find out07:07
Kilosright click on screen and see options07:08
Kilosi can remember how i did it back then07:08
Kilosi cant remember sorry07:08
Kilosbut we will find a way07:09
qwebirc28282so how07:09
qwebirc28282?07:09
Kilosim using google to see how others have done it07:09
Kilosgoogle how to lock desktop background on 12.0407:10
Kilosthere many links07:10
qwebirc28282okey, i wait07:10
Kilosone guy says do this in the terminal07:12
Kilossu USERNAME -c 'COMMAND' 07:12
superflyKilos: no, that's running a command as another user07:12
Kilospavlushka jump in here07:12
Kilosty superfly 07:12
theblazehenHave a look at polkit stuff potentially? Although I think that is more just system side stuff. gconf might have it, otherwise cron job every minute to set the background07:14
Kilostheblazehen can you help him07:14
theblazehenKilos not right now, sorry. Maybe later if no one else can07:14
Kilostoo much in google about that and cron jobs are for it peeps07:15
KilosIT07:15
pavlushkaqwebirc28282: like theblazehen said, you can set a cronjob to set it back the background.07:15
Kilosqwebirc28282 go through this http://askubuntu.com/questions/124456/is-there-a-way-to-disable-changing-the-background-in-gnome07:15
theblazehenqwebirc28282 https://github.com/TomSmeets/FractalArt#gnome can set the background07:18
pavlushkaqwebirc28282: you can lock your user account , so no one can even access it and set up another account for others.07:18
pavlushkaqwebirc28282: that way the background set by you will remain unchanged.07:19
