Parental control whitelisting in a classroom

Hi, I'm starting an Edubuntu lab in a primary (K12) school in Italy, with a P4/3Ghz server and ten PIII/800 thin clients. Kids just need - and teachers want - to access just a bunch of controlled sites (less than 10, a sort of whitelist of allowed sites), blocking all the rest of the

How to copy Gnome menus (and settings) to many users?

I have customized the Applications menu, creating submenus and adding a lot of programs by category. Now I need to replicate the structure for all users on my Edubuntu box. Is there a quick/easy way to do it ? A-la-carte isn't working (crashing and anyway keeping just desktop settings), and I

Thin client login problem: password accepted, but no desktop (while working on the server itself)

Hi, I have a small lab with 10 clients accessing a server in a school. Everything worked fine until a couple of days ago; now I'm having troubles with users logging in on thin clients. I enter use credentials, the client thinks for a while, and then I'm bounced back to the login screen.

Re: edubuntu-users Digest, Vol 25, Issue 27

Hi oe1, I'm running Edubuntu 7.10 in a primary school lab with 10 similar clients (P3/650 with 128 Mb) on a P4 3.20 Ghz with 1 Gb. They run without a glitch, but since we'd like to be just sure everything is running smnooth, I think we'll upgrade to at least 2 Gb. In case we'll add 10 more

Autologin issue - again

Sorry to ask again, but I still cannot have autologin work properly. I run an 8.04 server, modified the lst.conf file so that it says: ... [00-0E-7F-...] # Thin client MAC address LDM_AUTOLOGIN=True LDM_USERNAME=foo LDM_PASSWORD=bar ... But still no autologin: I get

Problem with USB pendrive with 8.04

Hi, I'm having troubles with pendrive on my Edubuntu 8.04 lab. Everything went fine with 7.10, but then the school purchased a new server and I installed a fresh 8.04. Well, everything is running fine except pendrives: as soon as I plug one in the server, it shows on every thinclient desktop,

Edubuntu, ISDN router, IPCop

Hi, our school used to connect our Windows ME lan through an ISDN router (Cisco 80x), pre-configured by ISP to dial uop and disconnect after an idel period. Now I replaced the teacher PC with an Edubuntu LTSP server and thin clients PXE-boot from it. I used the same IP address schema, and both

DHCP server sometimes not found

Hi, I'm finishing our new computer room with 12 thin clients and a 8.041 Edubuntu server. Everything seemed fine on the first clients I tested, but I just found I can start no more than 4 or 5 at the same time. The other ones just wait for a DHCP to give them a valid IP address, and there's
