[Bug 72857] Re: Alacarte lack a way to change all the users' menu in a snapshot
Thanks for your report. Your idea might get more attention and have the possibility of being implemented if you would submit a specification for this. You should first check whether it already exists at the Ubuntu specs page (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+specs) in Launchpad. If that is the case, feel free to contact the drafter of that spec about your comments/suggestions. Otherwise you can start writing a spec following the steps described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureSpecifications. ** Changed in: alacarte (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected -- Alacarte lack a way to change all the users' menu in a snapshot https://launchpad.net/bugs/72857 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 72857] Re: Alacarte lack a way to change all the users' menu in a snapshot
I'm having quite a similar setup here: 15 LTSP Clients with up to 800 users. I tried to use alacarte and sabayon for administration, but also had a lot of trouble with it. If you just want to remove the entries from users' desktops, you can go to /usr/share/applications and find and rename all the entries you don't want to be displayed. I just added a .disabled after the file names, i.e. applicationname.desktop.disabled. Alternatively you could set the permissions of the relevant bin files to 750, so that users are not allowed to start the programs anymore. But of course that doesnt remove the desktop entries... -- Alacarte lack a way to change all the users' menu in a snapshot https://launchpad.net/bugs/72857 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
