General Support / Re: Mapping network drive
« Last post by urkomasse on October 07, 2015, 08:45:20 PM »
Hi,


First thing to check would be: Is the /etc/fstab content correct when you boot in aufs mode?


Have you tried adding:
mount -a
at the end of /etc/rc.local?


If not, and taking advantage of Ubermix password-less sudo, you could look into running "sudo mount -a" on user login. Or since this is a network drive, and you need network anyway, have you set up the Ubermix Remote Updates? You could run the mount command on the updates, which would give you more flexibility going forward (you might want to move that server one day).

General Support / Mapping network drive
« Last post by arjepsen on October 06, 2015, 02:42:11 AM »
Hey.
I,m using ubermix on my schools computers (im the admin).
Ive installed the lubuntu desktop on ubermix, since even the light version of ubermix was a bit too much for these old pcs.
It works fine so far, and the last thing i need, is to map a network drive, so its accessible from the desktop
Ive followed this guide:
http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2014/08/map-network-drive-onto-ubuntu-14-04/
And it works great on the generic part.
But these changes doesnt carry over to the aufs part - i think ive narrowed it down to the changes in fstab not bring carried over.
Any help / suggestions?

Regards
Anders

This is rather odd.  We were getting reports of students unable to click their mouse pointer in certain areas of the screen.

Further investigation reveals that this is an empty, invisible window named "cinnamon-screensaver" using xwininfo.  Not quite sure how to approach this, but we would prefer a surgical fix to a brute force, nuke-it-from-orbit approach.

I somewhat suspect this may have something to do with saved session data, and something autostarting, but so far have not found the solution.

I CAN tell you, that removing cinnamon-screensaver is NOT the fix.  The cinnamon GUI is NOT happy without it.

That looks honestly awesome.
I am Spanish, so not a problem to understand it, but do you know if there are resources in English?

Hey,
Just saw this now. Another option is Clonezilla. I have used it in the past with great success.

General Discussion / Re: How to make Lubuntu work like Ubermix
« Last post by urkomasse on September 29, 2015, 11:22:42 PM »
Hi,
Did you try the normal version or the Lite version?
For older computers, you should definitely try using version 2.3L.


If not, I would go a different route, but this is not easy and I would only consider it if your Linux experience is fairly high: make Ubermix look like Lubuntu or Xubuntu (I prefer Xubuntu).
You can do:
apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
or
apt-get install lubuntu-desktop


Then switch to the Xubuntu session on log-on.
Afterwards you would need to do some cleanup of the standard Ubermix environment to avoid conflicts.


To do this properly, you need to do it with the customizing image instructions of the wiki, and create your own custom Ubermix key.


What do you think? I hope someone else will chip-in as well.

General Discussion / How to make Lubuntu work like Ubermix
« Last post by arjepsen on September 29, 2015, 09:25:49 AM »
Hey.

I have become admin of my schools computer room.
It's a small lab with about 20 old pc's.
Today I tried installing Ubermix on one of them, and while it worked ok, it did run somewhat slow.
How difficult would it be to set up a lightweight distro like Lubuntu to work like Ubermix does?

Regards
Anders

Q&A / Updates
« Last post by amcmahan on August 21, 2015, 04:40:28 PM »
How is everyone updating their Ubermix Devices?
I have done the typical sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade but it runs out of space on the partition with the 200+ updates available. At the moment, we are updating only the software our students use, such as chrome, firefox, etc. I am looking for a way to update our ubermix devices through the auto-update script we have setup. This is fine for the time being but it would make the sysadmin side of me feel better if they were able to fully update. Has anyone overcome this issue?

General Support / No boot from USB after key resizing
« Last post by Marker on August 11, 2015, 09:14:49 AM »
I've followed the directions to "Resizing the Ubermix Key to Accommodate a Larger Base System Partition" on this page: http://ubermix.org/customization.html. I've tried more than once and am very certain that I've followed the directions correctly. However, after copying the files back to the re-sized UBERMIX key the computer will no longer boot from USB. The computer model is an HP Compaq dc5700, and I've tried booting on 2 different machines with the same result.

Note that I can get it to boot by using the boot CD option, but that's not a good solution.

This is with version 1.5, which is better for our situation.

Any help would be much appreciated,
