Disable right-click for usersForum: Apps Topic: Disable right-click for users started by: rylz Posted by rylz on Feb. 12 2007,21:18
Is there a way to lock down DSL for users so that they can only do what I allow them to do? I'm basically wanting to have an Internet Kiosk of sorts that goes to our Citrix server. I've already figured out (with the help of mikshaw, :thumb: ) how to keep Firefox alive, but users can still minimize Firefox and access the desktop. Can I therefore lock down the desktop so that the right-click menu does not pop up for them?

You might try a smaller window manager without a menu.Ratpoison, wmii, and evilwm all are very minimal, and I think they can all be configured so the user has very little control over anything but the running application(s). Posted by rylz on Feb. 12 2007,22:10
Which one do you prefer and how do you suggest I incorporate it into DSL? I'm doing well at learning Linux/DSL, but I still need an occasional nudge in the proper direction. Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on Feb. 13 2007,03:44
Maybe you disable it using xmodmap or similar... or maybe try and see if there's a '1' button mouse (ie .xserverrc)?If you really want to, you don't have to use a wm at all. i.e. startx -- firefox (Some extra tips ... < http://www.neveprise.net/main.do?id=howto-misc-firefox-kiosk > ) EDIT: Oops, I just read < http://damnsmalllinux.org/cgi-bin....t=17499 > ... so don't know if my above advice would apply. |
