I've got [Project Gutenberg] ISOs loaded on my server. I can search the folder as root. When I push the Gutenberg folder icon from the server desktop to the client desktops my clients are not seeing the folder. Please advise on how I can get all of my clients to see this or any folder on their desktops.

thank you Denny p.s. Can we go to a more robust wiki? One that recognizes hard returns? :)


The easy way to do this is to make a symbolic link to your Project Gutenberg folder in /etc/skel/

ln -s /path/to/gutenberg /etc/skel/Project_Gutenberg

Then run Eric's script to update the Desktop directories for your users

/opt/ltsp/templates/k12linux/reset-default-desktop <usernname> - for just one user

/opt/ltsp/templates/k12linux/reset-all-desktops - for all users====

for KDE users

if you use KDE as desktop environment on the Terminals, you can install KioskTool which let you lock down the user's desktop and control many features. one nice side effect is that for each lock down Profile their is a Desktop folder created in which all its icons are placed.

we use several profiles and we just add or remove icons to each Profile's Desktop folder, which immediately shows on every client's desktop that uses it.

give it a try :-)
