Hi All,
We set our Ubuntu 12 up with an Admin account and a user account. We then insert a wireless card for use to connect back to our systems here at work from remote locations like libraries or...

This has to be a system setting? Anyone have any idea where to start looking?

Hi All,
Is there a way to prevent the VMware View Client on Ubuntu 12 from retaining the virtual desktop so a regular logoff will throw away the floating desktops?

Is there a way to prevent then Vmware View Client on Ubuntu 12 from retaining the virtual desktop so a regular logoff will throw away the floating desktops?

Well that would work, but we would have do each individual directory on each machine we are setting up. With a possible 300-400 + towers that is a lot of extra work we are trying to avoid.

That is the problem. Ubunutu 12.04 allows any installed program to be run from the dash home even if it is removed from the menu. That is what we are trying to prevent.
On Ubuntu 10.10 we had to...

We are using a created account. But the user can still access turned off items through the Dash Home.
We also have an admin account. Our problem is all we want them being able to use is either...

All good idea, but does not really address the problem. We don't need to just lock applications, but the entire desktop for the user account we set up. We do not want them adding, changing or...

These are all good. What I really need is the ability to lock down the user account so they can only open either Firefox or Vmware Client.
Will the permissions do this possibly? Like I said we need...

Does any one know how to lock down the desktop on Ubuntu 12.04?
We are deploying pc's for public use and need them locked down so users can't change anything on them.

Typal,

We want to lock the standard purple startup background as the default that no one but the administrator can change.

We have multiple units deployed all over the state and have had...

Hi Group,

I need some help with once I get a background for my startup screen set, setting it so no one can enter in with a launcher command and change it later.

We are using a stripped and...

Thanks desnaike, but I think I need to clarify myself better. We are looking to buy several of these and they have to be internal PCI cards so someone at a remote location can not walk up to one of...

Hi All,

I am looking for a reliable Wireless PCI card that could be installed and supported through the Ubuntu operating system. Has anyone had any success with this? What I am seeing so far...

Found the answer with a little more research on my part.

Hi All,

We have created a stripped own version of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, and removed the screen saver and power management options from the desktop as we have turned off the menu. The reason for this...

After doing some more research on VMware, I have discovered that the problem I am experiencing has to do with the USB Redirect not working through VMware.

What drivers are there available that...

Micael3000,

I added Samba to the laptop, went through the VMware tunnel to see if I could see or add it on the Windows Image. It still is not letting us add or see it in the image.

I tested...

Hi Micael,

Once into the Windows Image, nothing on the Ubuntu side is visible. That is our problem. Will Samba take care of that?

When on the Ubuntu side only, I have the printer set as...

Hi All,

I am testing to see whether after connecting to an Image on a server with VMware View Open Client I can get it to add a local desktop connected printer(usb). In Ubuntu 10.04 I have made...

I figured it out. So this can be removed!

We are setting up virtual Ubuntu 10 machines that will just be used to launch a portal to our servers. I have the stripped down image created, but would like it to launch the VMware View...
