I am considering installing Ubuntu on one of my desktop pcs used by my daughter. It's currently running Windows 7 32bit in a LUA, but is not as stable as I'd like. I am using Cyber patrol as a parental control system - which could be causing some of the instability. Is there any Parental Control software available for Unbuntu?
View 8 Repliesa widow with 4 kids - 2 of whom have severe depression & signs that one may be suicidal and is taking interst in some dark garbage on the net. Overall still a pretty good kid, but he surely doesn't need help online to get further in a hole. The 15 year old boy is highly intelligent (whole family actually) and knows how to get around software parental controls with peer to peer, live disks, etc. There are several PCs - both windows and mac, and an X-box.
I want to set up the household with a router or similar solution that is smarter than the kid and his friends. I figure protecting the network is the most tamper proof, all-encompassing way to go. In the short term, I really want to lock that home net solid, while still allowing mom to do her facebook and the oldest to use the web for schoolwork. Dlink Securespot technology seems to be the best overall solution I have found so far. If there is something better, I'm hoping someone here can steer me to it.
I am making a proxy server that us dansguardian to do parental controls features.
Is there anyway I can set it up so all devices must automatically go to the proxy server without additional configuration. I am thinking something like it gives DHCP what it shows that the proxy server is the gateway, and then the proxy server sends it to the router.
While trying to get the iPlayer working (Ubuntu 10.10) I turned on parental control and set up all the passwords and other stuff it needed. Now when I try to play something with guidance it says wrong password and also wrong answer to security question. I know 100% I am putting the correct one in.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI work at a cybercafe and i am currently plagued by users who, despite the warning not to, continue to watch porn and use p2p software on my connection. I have done some preliminary research on how to filter the web content as well as to reduce the bandwidth used by p2p software on my network. I found that a solution that has worked for many with regard to web content control is danguardian + squid or privoxy in conjunction with a firewall like firehol or something of the sort. Others use an os like untangle or clear os and install it on a stand alone server. then others use open dns. although i would like the open dns solution, i will need to install a dns client, ddclient and i am a linux newbie so and ddclient requires some compiling or so, and i'm not yet into that. I am also currently not in the mood to dabble into untangle or clear os bcos it will cost me a lot do download the iso's. Internet access is costly over here.
Before i go ahead to implement the steps in any of the tutorials i have seen, i am wondering if such a measure will even help at all.You see, at my cafe, i use my server to share the connection to all my clients. I connect to the internet using a gsm modem. then i have two nic's. nic1 is set to share my connection and my router connects to that nic1. nic2 connects to my router using a static ip to enable communicate with my clients. If i implement something like dansguardian on my server, will it solve the problem for me, that is, do i have to also re-implement the steps i took to configure dansguardian on all the other pc's, that is, my clients?
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.

Is there any easily configured parental control tools for openSUSE? I used to use dansguardian, but I can't even find a repository with it in for openSUSE? On Mandriva there is a GUI for simple parental control (time & user based), + dansguardian is automatically set-up with squid etc. running appropriately.

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.
I took the courage yesterday to install ubuntu 9.10. Internet was working absolutely fine (wireless), but brightness controls were not working (they still don't). So I went to this page https://wiki.ubuntu.co/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting, and ran following command(s) killall gnome-settings-daemon gnome-power-manager Now since then I cant get the internet working, and cant see the wifi connection on task bar. I have restarted the laptop but no avail.
PS: any help on how I can reduce the brightness of monitor. I am using SONY VIAO VGN FZ38M, with Nvidia 8400M GT. I have tried several threads and tried all sorts of things, like xbacklight, or somthing to do with sudo .VGA/LCD/brightness.etc.
I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to Ubuntu 10.4. After the upgrade I noticed the entire title barding the window controls to minimize/maximize/close a window disappeared.Resizing/moving a window is not possible either.At first I thought something went wrong with the upgrade, so I did a full reinstall, but using the same home dir (sda5 mounted to /home). The problem remains.
I can temporarily fix it by changing the visual effects to normal or extra, but each time I restart I have to do this again. The controls appear at the right side, opposed to the left side which I would have expected from this release.I realized that this must be something in my home dir, so I created a new user. For this new user, everything appears as expected, so it's most likely some configuration file left from 8.10 which 9.4 doesn't like

It has never worked. About to pull my hair out and/or reinstall Ubuntu Completely since no one else seems to have to problem.
Yesterday I adjusted the position of the windows controls back to what it was before, by using the configuration editor to set apps / metacity / general / button layout to "menu:minimize,maximize,close". At the time everything seemed good, the buttons moved, and it all worked. This morning I rebooted back into Lucid Lynx Ubuntu 64 bit, and now I find there are no controls on the windows, and I cannot even click and drag them, or double click the title bar to maximize! I checked, and the string I altered is still the same. I can still move windows with Alt-F7 and the mouse, and can resize by dragging out the bottom right corner.

I belong to a fly fishing club. We have tapes of fly tying sessions dating back to 1992.

I have both a 64bit 10.04 install with firefox 3.6.6 and flash player 64bit version 10 and a 32bit 10.04 netbook edition with firefox 3.6.6 and flash player 10.1.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if anyone knows of an upload manager, either native or wine, that allows the control of upload speed? I have one of those broadband plans that severely restricts upstream bandwidth, and while I'm uploading there is no room left for upstream communication, so I can't do anything else online but upload (boring). If I can limit my upstream speed to, say, 20KBps, it essentially frees all my downstream bandwidth and I can actually use my computer.
Currently, I've only tried plowshare for uploading, and though it seems to work well, it doesn't allow shaping...
I have an Epson Perfection V200 Photo scanner.It works as you would expect in XP.In Ubuntu, using the flatbed, not the transparency scan, real whites (white paper backgrounds) come out noticeably blue.This is annoying anyway & especially when printing afterwards.Note that even the scanner white background (left) is blue.The dark blue (right) is where the paper pulls away from the glass when it overlaps the scan area.Many of the other applications have several colour-correction tools, but I didn't find any simple way of using them to fix my problem.
Is this a common problem?Is there any way I can dial it out, once & for all?Or an easy way of using the controls in iscan or AcquireImages?
