[Scottish] Last Months Talk

2014-05-05 Thread Kenny Coyle
Hey all,

I just thought it would be good to pass on this link that Patrick sent
me after last months talk was over:

That proposed legislation from New Zealand can be found here, if
you’re interested: http://www.internetrightsbill.org.nz/

Cheers,
Kenny.

[Scottish] Window manager for tablet?

2014-05-05 Thread Colin McKinnon

Hi,

I'm looking for suggestions for WM which will be usable on a tablet 
(i.e. small screen) VNCing onto a Linux box.


Really I want to run all my apps full screen without the expense of a 
menu bar. Although most tiling WMs allow this, it's rather difficult to 
do alt+tab with no keyboard! Hence I'd want something with a 
conventional task bar and a launcher would be nice too (not least so I 
can write an app to switch the 'mouse' buttons). Thus far the only 
taskbars/launchers I've seen for tiling WMs are very minimal (and very 
small to poke with my fat digits).


I usually use KDE: my ideal solution would be to get rid of the window 
decorations / force stuff to run full screen.


Anyone got any suggestions?

TIA

C.

I haven't tried with a touch screen, but what about 
KDE-4 > system Settings > Workspace Behaviour > Workspace > Workspace Type : 
Netbook
This opens applications full screen and has a sort of finger-friendly menu 
system.

Also Openbox-KDE gives access to the KDE environment with a minimal window 
manager (no plasma).  

Don't you want to run these (choose as the desktop from e.g. kdm) on the host 
desktop rather than the tablet?

Has anyone tried a smallish bluetooth keyboard -- I am also experimenting with 
a tablet for remote access/administration/support.

I picked up a really cheap Bluetooth keyboard from Sainsbury's and apart
from missing a character or two it works a treat.
