Re: [Ltsp-discuss] I'm really soured on Edubuntu

Hi everyone, Well, it gets even stranger ... but in a good way. I experimented with the CompizConfig Settings Manager because it is the GUI for the default display right? And all over the place (in the comments, in the package's landing page) it has dire warnings it could crash your system. Wel

Re: [Ltsp-discuss] I'm really soured on Edubuntu

Ok, I found it -- sort of. If I change the session manager (down in the lower right corner of the login screen) and tell it to run in 2d then I get the launcher back. I just need to find out how to make that the default for the kids. On Mon, Sep 3, 2012 at 9:35 PM, Robert Lefebvre wrote

[Ltsp-discuss] I'm really soured on Edubuntu

Getting edubuntu has been one of the most exhausting exercises at what seems to be futility (at least right now). I talked this school to invest in it and it is turning into a complete failure. Since the beginning it has been nothing but one problem after another. Its like playing womp-a-mole. I fi

Hey all, I'm a noob at networking and Edubuntu but am starting to grasp it (I think :-). I just changed the server over from using a USB to rj45 ethernet connector to a pci express gigabit network card and am having problems getting it re-connected to the clients. At the client I'm getting the Ed

[Ltsp-discuss] Need advice about server purchase

Hi all, We are going to upgrade our server and had one in mind. It has plenty of memory and a gigabit lan (we'll need another) but the question I had was about the 6 core processor it has. AMD-FX6100, 6Cores processor with 14MB cache. Core 1 speed = 4.0Ghz Core 2 speed = 4.0Ghz Core 3 speed = 4.0

I am a total noob at Edubuntu and even networking in general but I finally managed to get a client to boot and log into the server but when it does the desktop is missing any navigation. There is no icons in the top right that indicate network connection, date, username reboot etc. There are no pro
