Hello Umberto,
Thanks a lot for your guidance. I did first launch the setup of LDA-new, then
applied the debian patch as you indicated to me, but when I log in as a user
of the cybercafé, nothing special happens and the icons on the desktop still
points to the server's media.
The thing is that the piece of software I am using as a customer management
(DireqCafé) replaces the default Xsession script with :
-------------------------
#!/bin/sh
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/bin"
export USER=`whoami`
if groups $USER | grep icafe
then
/usr/bin/startkde&
/usr/share/direqcafe/bin/timer $USER
sleep 15 #This is needed to prevent X-error handling from keeping
sessions open on dead users
else
exec /usr/bin/startkde
fi
----------------------------
And I suppose that may be the beginning of the trouble, as, as far as I could
try to understand, for instance, it may explain why the Kiosk Tools settings
would never apply.
The problem is that I am still not familiar with the X procedures of logging
in, out, etc. and in spite of hours spent googling, it remains, as we say in
French, "Chinese to me".
When I run the setup script of LDA-new, again and again, it says :
malformed patch at line 15 # unreached
for both Xstartup and Xreset.
I am lost. Would you have some tips ?
Thanks in advance,
Catherine
