Mkahawa Cybercafe Management Tool

[Script Warlock]

I really hope this thread isn't dead I need some help!


Using Mkahawa as part of a University Project


Few questions (silly things I can't get to work)


How do you change the lock pic/blocker image?


I have tried putting a file called lockpix.gif or just lockpix in the clients mkahawa-client directory and no luck

I have tried in the .mkahawa folder on the server also no luck

also the only mkahawa folder I can find on the client is

/usr/share/doc/mkahawa-client

is this correct?




on the server is it in

/home/cafeserver/.mkahawa

where cafeserver is my user for ubuntu


Really new to ubuntu here as well, so any help on these issues would be great! Can I just say this thread so far has been really helpful in getting it to install and run in the first place!

also when i click to enter the client session from the lock screen, there is no option to select a username and login.. is there meant to be... bit confused how to link users to terminals.

--->fixing the lockpix is almost complete dont worry for that we put some new things on lockpix, like the slideshow thing.

--->yes the location is in the right place..

--->hitting the enter button will pop-up the login screen must first register some username at the members tab of mkahawa server and the password is usually the members id.

do the start runlevel arguments (4 5_ do no match LSB Default-Start values) errors when installing client deb not matter then?

[h00man1]

perhaps we should ask some people to get the program into the ubuntu repositories, it seems to work well enough by now

yes this icafe software has a future but first lets support him in anyway we can, can reach him at mkahawa site(sourceforge).

throw your feature request and if you would like to help coding please do so we need more coding artist for mkahawa.... this is just a c++ and the source code is available via svn.

When I try to configure and make the client package I get

checking for fxfindfox in -lFOX-1.6... no
configure: error: please install fox 1.6

errors

latest version of libfox1.6 and libfox dev are both installed.

Running the latest version of ubuntu

(if you need any more info please tell me I'm new and trying to learn here)

Thanks

I fixed my problems

Just incase anyone else has the same ones the solution was when doing the ./configure to use -x-libraries usr/lib and -x-includes usr/include

as it was looking for them only in usr/local/lib and usr/local/include

also added -prefix='/usr' to install it where I wanted it



However I still cannot get a login screen to appear
the lock screen says unwiretechnologies.net (the install from deb just says mkahawa) and click to begin

when you press enter key nothing happens, when you click it just starts the session, not a login screen even though I added users in the server programme.

does mkahawa client autolocks the desktop when launched?

I have used CCL for 2 years, and this afternoon I found mkahawa and I have tried to install on the server. But when I try to run mkahawa, the staff login window appear .
What username and password?
