    Yes, I have the very same output from "timekpr-gui" as CbrPad.

    $ gksu timekpr-gui

    [SOLVED] Account Lease time / Content filtering

    Problem solved. I found another post here on the forums that I missed the first time. It suggests that Timekpr will not work with only a single account set up... you need at least one other user. I added a user and, presto, it works great. No need to even reinstall after setting up the new account.

    Yes, that was what I thought it would be! Good to see it worked out for you.

    Sorry for not responding earlier, I have had a rough week at work. We have changed all our servers from Windows to Linux. With over 600 users and about 300 machines that is a big job! All machines needed to be reconfigured! We also changed the wireless system to a meru system. Everything is looking good so far...

    Is there any way to keep the time left indication open so the user isn't surprised by a sudden logout? Maybe I'm missing something in the contril panel. Thanks.

    It is possible to keep it open longer, and also to require the user to 'click' it. The latter will be rather intrusive and I don't think it will be any good. I might make the notifications stay longer though...

    If you open up /usr/share/python-support/timekpr/timekpr-client.py you can change the time it is shown. You will find it on line 195-216. If you use Gnome change '-t 3000' on line 203 into '-t <duration in milliseconds>' (for 10 seconds '-t 10000').

    Thanks, .nedberg. I haven't seen the notifications, except if you click on the tray icon. Do the notifications appear automatically at any time?

    It should notify with the time left every 15 minuttes. Then, when the user is close to being logged out, more often.

    An unrestricted user will not see any notifications, only restricted users. Unrestricted users will see a green padlock, restricted users see a red one.

    If it doesn't work, please kill any existing timekpr-client process and start a new one from a terminal when you are running as a restricted user.

    Thank you. I think that I didn't stay logged in long enough to see the notifications when I was testing it.

    Re: Account Lease time / Content filtering

    The PPAs have changed. Use:
    Code:
    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/timekpr-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
    deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/timekpr-maintainers/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
    for stable versions or:
    Code:
    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nedberg/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
    deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/nedberg/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
    for beta versions.

    Follow these instructions for installing packages from these PPAs. Pay attention to the part about adding a PPA's key, that is a new feature of PPAs!

    Even though development had been slow lately doesn't mean nothing is happening. I just commited a change to timekpr-gui that will allow for i18n translations of timekpr! I am also looking into giving more fine grained control over when a user can be logged in.

    I will have a lot to do at work at least until easter, probably until July. I still "think" timekpr code
