Public bug reported:
I am assisting the teachers of many Greek high schools to install Ubuntu
in the classrooms. The major complain i encounter is that some of the
most common configuration options must be done via the command line. It
would be extremely helpful if there was a way to change some of these
options through gnome-control-center.
Typical configuration options in a classroom environment:
1) Change grub boot options/set the default OS to boot
2) Change the options of the application launchers in Unity (for example change
tuxpaint to tuxpaint --fullscreen)
3) Change the entries of /etc/hosts (to add the static IP of the server for the
epoptes-client application)
4) Change the way users interact with the ntfs partitions (for example set
whether the users can access the windows partition or not)
