The way I do it is: Open up synaptic. Search for the version # of the kernel you want to remove. Or just do a search for "linux kernel", and remove the old versions. It's more than 1 package to completely remove it. -Bryan

Hi All, Please could anybody help out with this problem? Whenever I update my Ubuntu desktop with a new kernel release, it always increase the number of option to choose from when booting a dual boot system. Presently I have upto five diferent kernel versions to choose from and one instance of Win XP. I don't want all other versions of kernel except the latest one and of course my Win XP. I looked out for grub.conf to deactivated all other but couldn't locate this file.

In dhcpd.conf I didn't actually add anything - I altered the IPs to match the server and the subnet I'm on and altered the DHCP address range. Initially, I tried simply doing an 'apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' on the server, but I couldn't see how I could get a thin client to log into a KDE session so I thought I had to chroot the kubuntu-desktop install it instead. So, if I rebuild the ltsp file system and install kubuntu-desktop on the server (it is actually already installed), do you know what steps I need to take to enable clients to log into KDE (I'd like it to be default)?

Since edubuntu 6.10, ldm gives an available session list. I guess it doesn't have kde in there or else maybe kde just isn't the default? It appears from the code that ldm uses some sort of socket to get a list of available sessions from the server but I'm not too clear how that works or how you'd modify the answer the server gives. Looking quickly at the ldm code in /opt/ltsp/i386/usr/sbin/ldm: # select the right session command session_manager = get_config('LDM_REMOTECMD') or '/etc/X11/Xsession' if selected_session != 'None' and not get_config('LDM_REMOTECMD'): session_manager = session_manager+' '+selected_session suggests the LDM_REMOTECMD variable placed in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf might allow you to specify a session. I'm not certain what the kde session command is off the top of my head but a quick search suggests it may be "startkde". If this is true, you may be able to put something like LDM_REMOTECMD=/usr/bin/startkde but I really haven't tested this so I'm not sure. As an initial test, you could set: LDM_REMOTECMD=/usr/bin/firefox in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf and reboot the thin client. If when you login it goes straight into firefox, this works. It'd be very useful to know if this works so please tell us how you get on.

This is a badly phrased question, not a statement. Does ldm not give you the option?

In germany/nrw there is a public school-administration software, which is free of costs for schools, but it runs only under windows :-( Hallo frei bildende/gebildete aus NRW, heute hatte ich eine Fortbildung zum Thema "Schulverwaltung" mit Schild-NRW. Schild-NRW ist eine vom Land NRW bezahlte und f?r NRW-Schulen kostenlose Schulverwaltungssoftware. http://www.svws.nrw.de/index.html Das Programm ist richtig gut und scheint recht ergnomisch zu sein. Im Moment ist es das einzige Schulverwaltungsprogramm, mit dem man die Stastistik mit dem Landesserver in der ab n?chstem Jahr geltenden Form abwickeln kann. Nur leider ist es ein Windowsprogramm und benutzt eine Accessdatenbank (man kann allerdings wohl MySQL oder Firebird einbinden. http://www.svws.nrw.de/files/schild2000/neuecd/Schild-NRW/Dokumentation/SchILD-NRW_MySQL41.pdf ) Da ist es wieder, das ?ffentliches Gut (das Programm wurde ja mit Steuern bezahlt) closed source ist und zum Kauf von Monopolistenkram zwingt. Bitte geht auf die Didacta und sprecht mit den Schild-Leuten. Schreibt dem Kultusministerium, den Bezirksregierungen, den Parteien im Landtag oder wem auch immer!
