I've enjoyed my time with Ubuntu and want to share it with my family.
My son is still quite young and I want him to have a positive experience on the net.
Is there any kind of net nanny type program for Ubuntu that I can load on his computer for his protection?
I have a desktop with Ubuntu on it that will be used by children for internet access and the parents of those who will be using it would like that some sort of basic child protection software was installed on it so that those using the computer don't accidentally or even deliberately out of curiosity access adult material.Is there a decent easy to use Ubuntu software out there that allows for parental control over what kind of websites can be accessed by children?

I think it would be really great to be able to have certain things run automatically based on a set of conditions. For example, I would like to automatically sync my mp3s to my laptop from my home computer when my laptop connects to my home network.

If not (or even if it does) do you have any suggestions of programs that are the same as (on a ease of use/quick to pick up scale) or better than for simple/quick organic and inorganic modeling/reaction modeling ?
I need to launch programs in my program and the program can be a script, a Linux executable or even a Windows executable. The first thing i tried is to use xdg-open from my program, but i can't pass arguments to it, otherwise it would have worked perfectly. Is there maybe a way to determine which program is set as default according to the mime-type of the program i want to launch? I also tried kfmclient and gnome-open, they don't allow arguments either.

I tried: [url]

I'm trying to install Gnome Nanny [url]
I installed it using Synaptic and when I restart, the Nanny daemon appears to be working.
However, when I try to access to the Parental Control (System - Administration - Parental Control) and after writing my password, it does not shown anything. Nor any windows not any configuration.
I am using Lucid Lynx I386.
Do you know any parental control which could block programs execution (like games, instant messengers, browsers...), could have web filtering and could have spending time control?
I use the Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix. To limit the time of kids using the netbook I installed Nanny and set the timelimit to 0,5 h.
But for some reason it doesn't work. You can see the Nanny Icon, but it isn't logging of the user when the timelimit is reached...
Did anyone encounter the same problem or is it just me who did something wrong?
I have dowmloaded the latest version of Gnome Nanny, but have run into an instal problem at the first hurdle:
I have extracte the folder to Documents: Cd/ to the folder and run the ./configure command and get this message: No package 'pygtk-2.0' found
I have checked the install files and edited the lines which contain the above to now read pygtk -2.0 >=2.8 as 2.8 is the version of python I have installed. In package manager it only goes back to v2.2.
How I can get around this error?
Running Ubuntu 9.1 karmic Koala.
I installed Gnome Nanny. I can choose the times when the computer can be used and limit the internet. However, these times are not being enforced. Is there some other settings that are used to enforce these settings?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have difficulty in running Gnome Nanny in Lubuntu 10.04. Installation is easy just by adding repository and do sudo apt-get install. But clicking on "Parental Control" resulting in nothing and I do not know how to change the setting for example, email only and no browing?
I think Gnome Nanny is user friendly and suit my purpose to stop user access to browser internet but email only through zimbra.
In my system around 73gb(pc-desktop) i have,1 primary partition(windows)-25gb, 1-extended partition(remaining gb) 3 logical partitions were there in (under) extended partition in one of the logical partition is d:drive. in my hard disk d: drive is -/dev/sda5
previosly i was fat -file system , (d:drive-/dev/sda5), i remember i changed the d: drive(d:drive-/dev/sda5) file system to ext4file system ,with following command using terminal
After doing(changing the file system)this one ,i couldnt see the d:drive data
By doing that
1q) Did i reformatted the partition? i think the new filesystem(ext4) has no knowledge of the data that was on it when it had a FAT filesystem.
2q) How to do undo operation,i tried to change the filesystem type to fat/ntfs in terminal using command --sudo mkfs -t FAT /dev/sda5.
Result:its showing text message-'mkfs.FAT: No such file or directory'(not in single quote)
I had very imp data in d:drive
I just loaded octave. I ran through a few examples of how to implement a script file. Everything works until I get to "plot". When I run the "plot" command I get the following.
octave:2> test1.m
error: can't perform indexing operations for <unknown type> type
sh: gnuplot: not found
Just to double check my work, I ran the following code:
y=[1 2 3];
plot(y);
I am copying the file form one directory to another directory using shellscript.
Here i want to get the Mimetype/Content-type of the file.
How to i can get the MimeType.

I was wondering whether there is an inbuilt logging system in UNIX?
I ran and installation and the program opened up automatically but I can't find the program executable.
If I could find a log then I could locate this file.

So last night after I got home from the bar I got on my laptop with ubuntu 10.04.
I think I held down the shift key for a while and a message popped up like 'sticky keys' for winbloze.
I hit cancel on the box, but then couldn't type anything after. Not in Gedit, not in firefox, not in openoffice.
I tried holding shift to bring the box back, and no luck.
What to do?
